"Good radar detectors, like good AM/FM radios, are super-heterodyne receivers, and they all share a common trait. They receive, but they also transmit a signal; it's called "local oscillator emissions." This transmitted signal can be found by another radio if it's tuned to the right frequency. And VG2 is a merely a radio tuned to the right frequency range for most detectors.
A little history: Escort was the first X-K super-heterodyne detector. Jim Jaeger and I invented it, working out of his basement in the mid-seventies. Since then, other detector makers have taken the easy way and copied Escort's frequency scheme, which means they have the same L-O frequency. So VG2 knows right where to look.
The one detector that's apart from the pack is V1. I didn't copy myself. So VG2 misses Valentine One. But even if it were tuned to the right spot, we'd still be hard to find because we use sophisticated filtering. In our tests, Valentine One is better than all others for VG2-proofing. Our best competitors are pretty good, maybe good enough. Our worst competitors are clueless; Car and Driver, in its last test, detected one of them 3/4 of a mile away."
