MPH Industries Python® Series III Moving Radar System

The classic Python radar system has been completely redesigned for the 21st century. The smaller readout unit has a completely new look, with bigger, easier-to-read displays. The K-band antenna unit is the smallest on the market. The simple remote control still allows you to keep your eyes on the road where they should be instead of fishing for buttons. The new Python accepts MPH's speedometer interface module, the only one that doesn't force you to modify your cruiser. The radar is also availabe in a "FS" model with fastest vehicle and same direction modes.

Special Features:

  • Python utilizes true Digital Signals Processing (real DSP), which allows it to monitor all targest in the radar beam simultaneously. Inferior techniques, which are simply advanced analog processing methods masquerading as DSP, cannot match the performance of the Python.
  • Python is the simplest traffic radar available. No moving radar ever designed can match the Python's simplicity. The remote control is not crowded with infrequently used functions, so the radar operator doesn't have to take his/her eyes off the road. The pushbuttons on the readout unit are clearly labeled and can be operated with gloved hands.
  • Python contains MPH's exclusive high-quality Doppler audio. This court-proven veature is a true indicator of the quality of the target's return signal. The volume increases when the signal strenght increases, and any interfering targets that are present become apparent immediately.
  • The reliability and accuracy of the Python are guaranteed by MPH Industries. The Python also conforms to NHTSA radar specifications.

General Specifications:

- Power
10.8 to 16.5 Volts, 0.9 Amps 13.6 V nominal. Fused cord and reverse polarity protection.

- Operating modes and speed ranges
The basic Python Series III is equipped with stationary mode and opposite-direction moving mode software. As an option, you may purchase the "FS" version of the radar, which adds fastest vehicle mode and same direction moving mode to the radar. Both versions also accept MPH's speedometer interface module. The speedometer interface gets approximate vehicle speed information from the patrol vehicle and uses it to help the radar make decisions about the correct patrol speed. When it is used, the radar's City/Highway mode is selected automatically by the radar, based on the speedometer speed. The Python is also capable of higher patrol speeds when the speedometer interface is used.

- Target Distance
One mile range typical for an average size vehicle. Range varies with vehicle size, terrain, weather, and traffic conditions.

- Speed Display
Three LED windows simultaneously display patrol, target, and locked speeds. Display brightness automatically adjusts to the ambient light level. All speed displays are 0.4 inches tall.

- Readout Size
1.6 inches High, 6.5 inches Wide, 4.9 inches Deep.

- Antennas
All antenna modules consist of a circularly polarized, seamless, conical horn antenna and shatterproof microwave lens, contained in a rugged cylindrical aluminum housing.

MPH Python Series III Moving Radar System
The Python® Series III Moving Radar operates from stationary or moving patrol vehicles, and uses the well known and legally-acceptable Doppler principle. The radar has been type accepted by the FCC and conforms to all NHTSA specifications. Python is available in X, K, or Ka-band.
