Reliable coverage

Looking for protection from the most common police radar bands? The Pro 300 gives you a heads-up for selectable X, K, and Ka bands, as well as instant-on "POP" radar. You'll get alerts in under 500 milliseconds, and multiple laser sensors provide added security as you travel.

Traffic Signal Rejection

Beltronics' proprietary Traffic Signal Rejection software goes even further to reduce false alerts. It detects strong K-band signals emitted by common highway traffic flow sensors and weeds them out, eliminating meaningless alarms so you can stay focused on the real threats.

High-performance features for your travel needs

The Pro 300 lets you customize your protection with seven programmable features. It also offers three sensitivity levels, including AutoScan speed-based filtering and and a city setting that eliminates X-band for fewer false alerts in urban areas. If you want to stay "under the radar," the Pro 300 provides VG-2 immunity to keep you invisible to many radar detector detectors.

Stay informed

The Pro 300 can announce incoming threats with digital voice alerts so you can concentrate on driving. AutoMute helps keep the distractions down during lengthy encounters with radar. You can track incoming threats on the 280-LED alphanumeric display, which also features tech mode and threat mode displays for advanced users, plus a voltage meter. Adjust the display's brightness for your viewing pleasure, or take things fully dark when the need arises.

Beltronics also provides a coiled SmartPlug cord with built-in mute and alert lights to keep you in control and informed, even when the detector's fully dark.

Add EscortLive!™ for extra protection

The Pro 300 is compatible with the EscortLive service, which allows you to track real-time radar threats in your vicinity using your Bluetooth® enabled smartphone and the free EscortLive app. Your phone's GPS information provides access to reported radar data from other EscortLive users in your vicinity, and you can report radar hotspots so others driving in your wake will know about potential encounters. You'll need to purchase an EscortLive cord for your iPhone® or Android™ phone, and a subscription fee is also required to use the EscortLive service.


Sorry, but we cannot ship radar detectors to Virginia or the District of Columbia.

Features

Overview: The Beltronics Pro300 provides full detection of radar and laser, alerts from the Safety Warning System, and full VG2 immunity. The Pro300 is compatible with Escort Live!, which allows you to integrate the radar detector with your smartphone. The unit comes equipped with a suction-cup windshield mount and a SmartPlug coiled power cord.

Detection Capability: The Beltronics Pro300 includes full X, K, Ka and Safety Warning System radar capability, laser detection, and a fast microprocessor for delivering alerts in 500 milliseconds or less. It features superior long-range radar and laser detection, including the new "POP" mode alerts. You can program the unit to enable all bands at once or you can select one or more bands to turn off (once you have determined there are no traffic radar units using the disabled bands in your area).

SmartPlug: The SmartPlug power cord has a power-on indicator, a bright alert light that warns of radar or laser and a convenient mute button right on the plug. It's a perfect solution for when your radar detector is out of reach or for discreet night driving when you are using the unit's Dark mode. An optional Direct-wire SmartPlug module, which can be wired directly into your vehicle's electrical system with a straight cord, is available.

Escort Live! By replacing the standard power cord with the SmartCord Live module, and downloading the Escort Live! app to your smartphone, you get instant access to a powerful driver alert social network of other subscribers. As you travel, you are alerted ahead of time of upcoming alerts along your route, as experienced by other drivers. The smartphone app gives you the choice of a map view or dashboard view. Escort Live! is a paid subscription service that is compatible with iPhone 5, 4S, 4, and 3 GS, and Android devices using OS 2.2 or higher.

Traffic Signal Rejection: The Pro300 utilizes Traffic Signal Rejection to eliminate false alerts due to location or certain frequencies. Radar-based traffic flow sensors, mounted along major highways, transmit strong K-band signals for a half-second approximately every minute. These signals help produce traffic flow data for personal navigation devices, but also create numerous false radar alerts. Beltronics' proprietary Traffic Signal Rejection (TSR) software, found in the Pro300, helps eliminate annoying false alerts.

DSP (Digital Signal Processing): The digital AutoScan feature continuously analyzes all incoming signals and automatically rejects unwanted false alarms. This gives you the perfect balance of long-range detector performance without annoying false alarms.

Laser Protection: The Pro300 provides 10 times the sensitivity of any imported radar detector, including the latest "POP" mode threat. Multiple laser sensor diodes, strategically positioned in the unit, continually search for laser gun signals and provide maximum range and superior off-axis protection.

Digital Voice Alerts: The Pro300's easy to understand digital voice alerts keep you informed without taking your eyes off the road. If you prefer, you can turn off the voice announcement feature and have the unit provide audible tones instead.

Audible Alerts: The Pro300 uses audible alerts for Radar, Laser, POP, and Safety signals:

  • Radar Signals: The Pro300 uses a Geiger-counter-like sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar signal being encountered. When you encounter radar, a distinct audible alert will sound and occur faster as the signal gets stronger. This allows you to judge the distance from the signal source without taking your eyes from the road.
    • X-band: Chirping sound
    • K-band: Buzzing sound
    • Ka-band: Double-Chirp sound
    • POP: Full Double-Chirp sound
    • SWS: Double Beep sound
  • Laser Signals: Since Laser signals are a possible threat no matter how weak, the Pro300 alerts you to these bands at full signal strength.
  • POP Signals: Since POP signals are extremely fast K or Ka bursts, and a possible threat no matter how weak, the Pro300 alerts you to these bands at full signal strength.
  • Safety Signals: The Pro300 will alert you to these signals with a double-beep tone, and a corresponding text message.

Sensitivity: You can set the Pro300 to three sensitivity modes:

  • Highway Mode: detects all signals at maximum range
  • AutoScan Mode: the unit's internal computer continuously analyzes all incoming signals and intelligently filters out unwanted X and K-band false alarms. Full sensitivity is maintained on all other bands.
  • City Mode: the X and K-band sensitivity is further reduced to eliminate unwanted false alarms in congested urban areas. There are options for Low X and No X sensitivity settings.

Display: The Pro300 features a bright, alphanumeric display that consists of 280 individual LEDs, visible from virtually any angle. The unit offers three display options:

  • Signal Strength Meter: The standard bar-graph signal strength meter only displays information on a single radar signal. If there are multiple signals present, the unit's internal computer determines which is the most important threat to show on the bar-graph meter.
  • Threat Display: Designed for experienced users, the Threat Display is a miniature spectrum analyzer that simultaneously tracks multiple radar signals and their relative strengths which can help you spot a change in your normal driving environment.
  • Tech Display: The Tech Display option, also for experienced detector users, will display the actual numeric frequency of the radar signal being received.

Brightness Control: The Pro300 offers three levels of brightness, plus a Dark Mode. Dark Mode uses the power-on and alert indicators on the SmartPlug as the only visual indicator.

Mute and AutoMute: The Pro300 features the AutoMute feature, which automatically reduces the volume level during an alert. Or, you can simply press the large front-mounted Mute button on the detector or on the SmartPlug during an alert to instantly quiet the audio.

Programming: There are 7 user-selectable options so you can customize the Pro300 for your own preferences:

  • Pilot (Power-on indication): choose full word (Highway, AutoScan, or City) or letter (H, A, or C) in the display. You can also display the vehicle's voltage, if desired.
  • Voice Alerts: turn digital voice announcement On or Off
  • Power-On Sequence: choose between the standard Power-On function or the Fast Power-On function
  • Signal Strength Meter: You can select from three display options: Standard (bar-graph) Display, Threat Display, or Tech Display
  • AutoMute: turn this function either On or Off
  • City Mode Sensitivity: select Standard, Low X, or No X.
  • Bands: select between the radar detector's default setting (all bands) or choose to turn one or more of the bands off

Mounting: You will get optimum performance from the detector if you mount it at a point approximately in the center of the vehicle, as low as possible on the front windshield without obstructing the view of the road to the front or rear. The supplied windshield mount adheres the detector to the windshield with two suction cups. The angle can be adjusted for best visibility.

Q
Is this device undectable by law inforcement?

cseabrook, I wanted answers to that question myself but never got the answer. My previous detector had the "VG-2 Interceptor" circuitry but unfortunately it failed after several years; It was discontinued. However, I'm not sure this one has it. The way the VG-2 circuitry works is, when it encounters a detector dector, it shuts down until the threat has passed/is over. The documentation does not say it has the VG-2 circuitry.

It's says it is, but not sure I would chance a fine and loss of detector to find out first hand.
dennis  Dec 02, 2014

in states where radar detectors are illegal and police use a detection unit called a Spectre - this unit can be detected. true stealth units include the Escort Redline, the Escort 9500ci and the Beltronics STI.
