In motor sports such as auto racing or motocross, you may be interested in how fast a vehicle (or other object) is traveling at all times. You may also be interested in top speed of a car at the drag strip. The Decatur Prospeed Professional Cordless Radar Gun CR-1K measures exactly that. It has two separate modes that are suited for this.

In Peak Speed mode, the Prospeed will display real time speeds as soon as they are measured up until the subject reached its maximum speed. When the subject starts to decelerate, the maximum measured speed stays on the display. To use this feature, set the Prospeed in Peak mode. Aim the Radar Gun at the subject to be clocked. Gently squeeze the trigger until “P” displays. When a speed is detected, it will start displaying the current speed until the top speed is reached. The top speed remains on the display until you squeeze the trigger again.

In Continuous mode, the Decatur Prospeed is constantly taking speed readings. If you are aiming at a subject, it will always display the subject’s current speed. If it is accelerating, decelerating, or keeping a constant speed, the current speed is displayed.
