The Bushnell Speedster II Radar Gun claims to operate in Peak Speed mode at all times. In reality, the Speedster can be operated in either Peak or Continuous mode without complication. Squeeze and hold the trigger on the Bushnell Speedster II, and the LCD will display the real-time speed of whatever subject you are targeting. As soon as you release the trigger, the LCD will display the highest recorded speed.

Suppose you have a remote control car that you want to see how fast it goes. Aim the Speedster at the car and hold the trigger down. As the car accelerates, the current speed will be displayed. If the car runs out of batteries when it hits 30 MPH and it starts to slow down, the LCD will reflect this. Release the trigger and the display will be locked on 30MPH.

For baseball use, the fastest speed of the ball is within 1 ft of the pitcher. Aim the Speedster II at the pitcher and squeeze the trigger. After the pitch is released, you can release the trigger. The pitch speed of the ball is displayed on the LCD.
Note: You must be within 100 ft of the pitcher with nothing obstructing your view. (Including the backstop)
