I had the following response to a question I posed in another thread:

It is about the size of a mid sized pair of binoculars (6"w x 3"h x 8"d approx) it has a monocle sighting window and display's speed & range (distance) and is completely portable i.e no wires. The interesting aspect was range as he indicated to me that he uses it to tell if two boats are 150' apart by simply "targeting" each and taking the difference in range.
Therefore, if you see a MP boat just floating/ idling (as I have seen numerous times since) and the officer has what you think are Binoculars up to his face --- SMILE, your on radar!!

Anyone try using a radar detector on the lake yet?
I might give it a shot next week, when I finally get back up there. I have a mid level model Cobra that picks up Radar and Laser-just curious if it even works on the water?
Of course I could just obey the 45mph speed limit at all times
