VG-2 and Spectre 1 VG-2 and Spectre 1 are "detector detectors" that work by detecting low-level signals emitted by most radar detectors. Your detector does not emit signals that can be detected by VG-2 or Spectre 1, but does detect VG-2 and Spectre 1 signals and will alert you when a device is in use near your vehicle, if you so choose. Probably a false alarm, but possibly pulsed radar, VG-2, or Spectre 1 nearby Radar, VG-2, or Spectre 1 nearby has been activated suddenly Exercise caution FULL ALERT Safety Alert Traffic Warning System FCC-approved Safety Alert transmitters emit microwave radar signals that indicate the presence of a safety-related concern. Depending on the frequency of the signal emitted, it can indicate a speeding emergency vehicle or train, or a stationary road hazard. Because these microwave signals are within the K band frequency, most conventional radar detectors will detect Safety Alert signals as standard K band radar.
