5 out of 5 stars Great Product For The Price!!!.......2007-07-19

I am 100% happy with my Bushnell radar gun. I mainly bought it for use in motor sports, four wheeler racing, motorcycles, and various activities involving speed. It uses K band so that is a big improvement from X band. The range on this thing is totally unreal, I can catch someones speed from over a 1/4 mile away, pretty amazing. Bottom line, for this price it is an unbeatable buy compared to the $900 stalker guns. I love this thing!!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT customer service!.......2007-07-03

We needed our item shipped quickly and bigTsports was ALL over our order, which I should add, was a small one! The customer service given to our order and subsequent emails were AMAZZZING!! They did everything we asked, and then some, and all withing 24 hours!! I would recommend buying from this vendor early and often! We will definitely purchase from Big T over and over again.

Thanks, Big T!! Ann in Evansville

5 out of 5 stars Great battery life.......2007-06-15

Durable. Tracks mph and gives you a reading of top speed. Seems to be accurate. Reads the same mph as my zooka pitching machine.

Takes 2 c batteries and they are still going strong after a month (probably over 500 readings).

Great for kids and adults. Reads speed of ball coming toward you or away from you so you can use this with 1 person or 2.

Recently brought this to a pool party and the adults had more fun with it than the kids.

5 out of 5 stars Radar Gun Evaluation.......2007-02-08

I am extremely satisfied with this product. It was recommended that I get a significantly more expensive device than this one for the purpose I wanted to use it for. I saved myself a great deal of expense as the product works perfectly for the function that I purchased it for. This device is extremely compact, but has a large highly visiable screen.

1 out of 5 stars Laser Gun Not as it seems.......2006-11-04

It got to me and upon my sons birthday and opening it (a month or so later) it worked for about an hour and since has not registered speed correctly. A huge disappointment and waste of my money.

    Product Description

    For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been fascinated with speed. Problem was, there was no economical way to accurately measure it (especially if you were on the receiving end of a traffic violation). With the inception of the Bushnell(R) Speedster, those days are over. The applications are endless, from measuring pitching speeds, tennis serves and downhill skiers to cars at the racetrack. The Speedster uses digital technology and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to provide accurate real-time measurements to +/- 1.0 MPH. It measures the speed of a baseball from 6-110 mph at 75 feet and even has a mode for keeping baseball and softball stats. Additionally, the speed of larger objects like race cars can be measured from 6-200 mph at 1300 feet. Features large LCD graphics display and two-way button pad. Compact with comfortable pistol grip. LCD graphics display. Two-way button pad. +/- one mph accuracy. Stores baseball statistics. Baseball/softball/tennis range: 6-110 mph. Auto racing range: 6-200 mph.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    The Bushnell Speedster is a handy, multifunctional speed gun for all sports enthusiasts. It tracks the speed (in mph or kph) of everything from pitching speeds, tennis serves, and downhill skiers to cars at the racetrack. It can measure the speed of a baseball going 6 to 110 mph from over 75 feet away and the speed of a racecar going 6 to 200 mph from over 1,300 feet away. The Speedster also enables you to keep statistics for baseball and softball.

    The easy-to-read screen can be formatted to track a series of measurements and keep a running tally of the average speed, making it ideal for analyzing baseball pitches, tennis serves, or car speed per lap.
    It features a highly legible, four-row LCD graphic display, a trigger, and a two-way button pad. The Speedster uses digital technology and DSP (digital signal processing) to provide instantaneous and real-time speed measurements with an accuracy of +/-1 mph.

    Speedster FAQ

    What is the Bushnell Speedster used for?
    The Bushnell Speedster can be used to accurately measure and display speeds of many of your favorite sports. It can track speeds of baseballs, softballs, tennis balls, and can be used in ice skating, auto racing, horse racing, track, and other sports where speed is crucial to success.

    What technology does the Speedster use?
    The Bushnell Speedster contains a K-Band microwave RF (radio frequency) transmitter whose signal gets reflected by the target object. The reflected signal will have a Doppler shift proportional to the target speed. This Doppler frequency shift is detected in the receiver, amplified, filtered, and then digitized in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and passed onto the digital signal processing (DSP) chip. Using complex algorithms, the DSP chip filters out false and low-level return signals to identify the speed of the desired target. The speed, along with various statistics and averages, is then displayed on the LCD.

    What is radar?
    Radar is an acronym for radio detection and ranging.

    How does the Speedster work?
    Once you press the trigger, the Speedster sends out 24 GHz radio waves at the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second. It measures the difference between the signal it transmitted and the signal bounced back to it and relays this information to the DSP to quickly calculate the speed of the object with an accuracy of +/-1 mpg.

    How is speed calculated?
    Speed is calculated using the difference between the transmit frequency and receive frequency (also known as the Doppler shift).

    How accurate is the Bushnell Speedster?
    The Bushnell Speedster is accurate to within +/-1 mph.

    How does the user need to be positioned in relation to the moving object?
    The Bushnell Speedster works best when positioned in front of or behind the moving object.

    Can radar guns determine the speed of an object moving in any direction?
    No, Doppler radar can only determine the relative speed of targets moving either toward or away from the radar.

    Does angle affect accuracy?
    A 12-degree angle should not affect performance. The Speedster is accurate to within +/-1 mph for a baseball 75 feet away at an angle of 12 degrees or less. A 20-degree angle at 60 feet away would result in an accuracy of +/-3 mph.

    From how far away can the speed of a baseball, softball, or tennis ball can be determined?
    0 to 75 feet.

    4 out of 5 stars Requires some skill.......2006-08-24

    I see a lot of people have had trouble tracking baseballs with this thing. I've owned one for 3 years and it works pretty well. I will give some tips on it:

    !!!If you throw at a respectable speed, and don't follow the correct procedure it will not work - there will be no reading!!

    1) Don't stand behind a metal fence. The Chain links with the plastic coating over them will work, but for whatever reason exposed metal interferes with the signal.

    2) The focus beam of the radar gun is very narrow. The whole idea is to keep the beam on the ball as long as possible. Just having the ball pass through the radar beam is not enough. You need to keep the beam on the ball for practically the whole pitch.

    3) Use rechargable batteries... and this isn't to save money. Some of the better Energizer rechargable are high amperage, 1350 mA and up. The gun tends to respond better to this, as its pretty power hungry. You will get more consistant readings with better batteries. Non-rechargable batteries cannot provide the same level of current (usually 850 mA or less), which seem to effect the gun.

    So, how would you properly use the gun?

    One way is to stand behind the mound as the pitcher throws. Forget about using it during a game, behind the backstop. It wont work.

    Try line up the pitchers release point and the plate, then situate your gun so that it fires on this imaginary line (connecting pitchers hand and the target.

    You may have to slightly change the angle of the gun to track the pitch, which can be slightly tricky. Follow the ball with the gun as long as you can.

    For a sure fire way to clock a throw, get a cheap net and stand behind it. You will register it every time. You will also have the most accurate reading.

    1 out of 5 stars Does not work for baseball. Very frustrating........2005-06-20

    When it was new out of the box it worked for baseball about 50% of the time if I was within a few feet of the pitcher or catcher. It seemed to become less effective each time I used it to the point that now I'm lucky to get a reading 10% of the time. It still works for clocking cars but for baseball it is almost useless.

    4 out of 5 stars Accurate..........2005-05-07

    This is a pretty accurate radar gun for baseball, as far as I can tell. If you follow the directions, and are as close to the action as possible, and at a "straight on" angle, it looks like its correct in the + - 1 mph statement. However, this is a cool gadget, but if you are serious about "speed" and would like more versatility, then your going to have to go with the official MLB JUGS gun...but at a much higher price.

    good luck.

    4 out of 5 stars Works for hockey too.......2004-12-17

    This radar gun works for hockey pucks too. I crouched behind the net and zapped the oncoming slapshots. Just remember to wear protective gear when behind the net, especially a full face helmet. When the shots miss the net, the pucks will bounce off the boards and find you.

    1 out of 5 stars Total waste of Money........2004-07-13

    Why has my past review been removed.
    I thought you guys where fair and im-partial.
    Anyway based on the number of other negative feedbacks looks like you cant hide the truth for long.
    THe triger breaks. The Battrey compartment breaks without even touching it. The strap breaks the minute you use it.
    Acuracy is poor. And gets worse with age.
    Customer support is non existant. Not even an e-mail address on the site.
    My honest feedback. If you need a toy buy it. If your serious. Buy something else. Ever wonder why a products price keeps droping. No sales. [...]

    1 out of 5 stars Voicemail/answering system poorly designed and often quirky.......2007-06-09

    The answering system gets confused if you try to replay the previous message during playback. And once you listen to all new messages, you have to listen to old messages in reverse. So if I don't catch all message number 2 out of 69, then I have to listen to all 69 messages before I can go back (hitting the "Backward" button while it's playing just confuses it). But say I save 20 of those messages (don't delete them). I have to go backwards through those 20 messages just to listen to message number 2 again. Maybe my phone has a manufacturing defect or maybe it's just bad design, but either way I'm getting rid of it. Unforunately there aren't too many options for business phones with the same features. Gheeze, doesn't anyone sell a decent desk phone with a headset jack and a answering machine for around $100? Even for $150 I'm hard pressed to find one with an answering machine built in.

    2 out of 5 stars Not happy with phone or seller.......2006-11-01

    This phone has all the features that I want. It also has a feature that I DON'T want! Whenever there is a power interruption...you lose everything!
    Almost all settings and directories! It has a battery back-up...but as far as I'm concerned, it don't work. It also must a chip..because very vew of the settings survive a power failure. (unimportant things like the area code survive). I now have to spend an extra $50.00 getting an AC battery back-up for it. I really give it a "1"
    As far as the seller....I contacted Stratton products (seller) asking to send it back and they never responded, I give them a "-1"

    2 out of 5 stars Intercom doesn't work on my wiring.......2006-01-10

    One of the nice concepts of this phone was the idea of using it as an intercom. I have a huge house, and it's nice to be able to intercom someone in their room instead of going all the way over there each time.

    When I plug two of these phones directly into each other, the intercom works as advertised. But over my house wiring the intercom functions don't seem to work. It just sits there beeping at me like I did something wrong.

    Can't comment on the voice mail problems - I've never tried them.

    1 out of 5 stars The Worst Phone on the Planet.......2005-12-23

    Everything wrong cited in the earlier reviews is true. The poorest quality at the highest price--shame on you AT&T. Based on my experience with this product, I will never purchase an AT&T branded anything.

    1 out of 5 stars Typical cheap Asian electronics.......2005-03-04

    In other words, lots of claimed features, many of which are unnecessary, conflict with one another and are poorly documented. Additionally, we found that this unit (although not the 944 slave) is subject to RFI (static), which required us to relocate it to another room.

    How much is your time worth? Figure on spending at least 5 hours getting this turkey up to a minimal operating level and never being able to get it to work fully.

    Since the RFI appears to be generated by the answering system, consider buying a separate answering machine. The first one we bought, from AT&T, was defective. We ended up instead with the Panasonic KX-TM100B [ASIN: B00000J53X]. You'll save yourself a lot of grief by buying it instead.

    Another reviewer recommends the Voice Logic Voice Pro 412 system. I don't have any experience with that one, but can't see how it could possibly be as bad as this.

    If you do buy this one, or have already bought it, be sure to download and save the operating manual. Otherwise, once amazon stops selling it, you'll have trouble finding a manual. This is, obviously, good advice with any electronics product.
