Guess you can buy one, but I thought using a radar detector was illegal in
Oz

Anyone?

Illegal to even have one in your car

Not if you have a ham ticket and claim to have modified it

in fact the police could be charged with interferring with a primary
service .

I was told you can buy them in W.A. but not use them anywhere else in
Australia.

Oh, now THAT would be a good one to try.
$160.00?
I might buy one.
It would be an experiment to see if their radar systems are spattering our
frequencies. That would be winnable in a court, especially if it's modified

It would be interesting and I expect quite winable

AFAIK, the police radar detector detectors only pick up local oscillator
leakage from the RD.
A *well* designed RD will probably not be detectable at any useful distance,
but the cost of such units is pretty high I believe.
And after you spend a fortune and think you are safe, the unmarked patrol
cars will simply follow you anyway.

The odds are very low , after all I hear there are only a couple of
detectors in my entire state .

legal to buy and use in WA.
In WA highway cars use K band - on all the time, easy to detect.
police standing on side of road use laser - hard to detect at distance
during the daytime
stationary multinovas use Ka band, easy to detect but only up to a few
hundred metres. They are starting to use 2 multinovas back to back to catch
motorbikes.
