Radar Question

#1 Postby al79philly » Sat Sep 25, 2004 7:26 pm

I see all types of radars mentioned - Titan, Viper, etc.

Is there any scientific difference between these or are the names just marketing gimmicks?

They are names given by different vendors (Baron Services, WSI etc.) for their brand of equipment.
