Modern DSP radar such as the BEE III can process many targets at the same time, but there is no
practical way to display multiple targets and associate them with the corr ect vehicles. Fastest
mode gives the operator an opportunity to view one other target besides the strongest. In this
mode, the BEE III considers all possible targets (there may be several in range of the radar) and
displays the fastest one. Doppler audi o is also provided for this target.
While the speeds indicated in the fastest mode are as accurate as normal targets, visual
identification of the offending vehicle is more difficult. For this reason, the BEE III only displays
fastest targets on request from a momentary switch and does not allow them to be locked. It is
intended to be used as a way to gather additional information about a specific situation.
Same direction moving radar
Same direction mode allows the BEE III to track targets moving faster or slower and in the same
direction as the patrol vehicle. This mode is best used in light traffic where visual target
identification is easier. With this feature active, the target speed range is limited to patrol speed
±70%. The target must be mov ing at a speed at least 3 mph faster or slower than patrol.
Pacing radar
The BEE III radar allows the officer an accurate means of pacing vehicles. In this mode, the BEE
III essentially functions as a calibrated speedometer. The radar should be placed in the stationary
mode for this type of operation.
