This model is "DETECTABLE" by the Australian Stalcar MK3 Radar Detector Detector
Passport 8500
Passport 8500 is programmed to cover "all" Australian Radar & Laser frequencies. This model can also be "re-programmed" to detect the American "X" band.
Radar Detection:
 Advanced "DSP" (Digital Signal Processing) delivers incredible "microwave" sensitivity. The Passport 8500 detects Mobile (moving) and Hand-held (up-the-road) radar traps with "long-range" warnings. Detection of low-power, "stationary" speed cameras - known as "photo radar" is consistently well before the actual "across-the-road" beam.
Laser Detection:
Multiple laser sensors detect 904 nanometer infrared pulses. All "states" Laser Speed Guns are covered.
Recommendation for use in Oz:
Only freedom to use" areas (no RDD's).
