1. A radar detector system for use in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a first receiver having a first directional antenna for detecting radar signals originating from in front of a motor vehicle, and to a lesser extent, from the sides of the motor vehicle;
means for mounting the first receiver to a motor vehicle such that the first directional antenna detects radar signals originating from inn front of the vehicle in an unobstructed path;
first sound means electronically connected to the first receiver for emitting an audible noise of a first pitch when the first directional antenna detects a radar signal;
a second receiver having a second directional antenna for detecting radar signals originating from behind a motor vehicle and, to a lesser extent, from the sides of the motor vehicle;
means for mounting the second receiver to a motor vehicle such that the second directional antenna detects radar signals originating from behind the vehicle in an unobstructed path;
second sound means electronically connected to the second receiver for emitting an audible noise of a second pitch when the second directional antenna detects a radar signal;
an indicator head which comprises the first sound means and the second sound means; and
means for mounting the indicator head inside of a motor vehicle.
