Rocky Mountain Radar is company that produces after market electronic products. Rocky Mountain Radar was founded in 1989 in Colorado as a consumer electronics company specializing in automotive after market products by Mr. Michael Churchman. Their early models included the Phantom, Spirit, Phazer, Eclipse and Illusion. They also did OEM work and made a model called the Barrier RDR.

In the mid to late 1990s they sold the Spirit II, Phazer and Phantom (which combined a detector and scrambler). In 1995, Rocky Mountain Radar moved its research and marketing departments to El Paso, Texas. Soon after Rocky Mountain Radar consolidated its operations and expanded into a 5,000 sq.ft. Texas facility. Where it currently has been since their move to El Paso, Tx.

The Spirit II was the subject of FCC scrutiny in the late 1990s and declared illegal. Around this time the Phazer was highly marketed and became what was probably the company's most popular product. Following this Rocky Mountain Radar began marketing radar detectors made in Korea by Attowave under their brand. They then released models such as the Phantom II, Phazer II, RMR-C302, Black Widow remote system and others. The C450 also was made illegal by the FCC and no longer available.

Most recently they have marketed the Phantom-T made for the professional driver, the Moto- Raptor, the C435, the RMR-C475 which incorporates a text display. They have also introduced KAT models which do away with the radar scrambler portion. They also sell the Kat-Matrix a cordless Accelerometer.

Rocky Mountain radar has a reputation for technical leadership, it ships and produces products to over forty countries and aggressively pursues export markets in the far east.

The company is active in the community and supports a host of various projects. Since its inception, Rocky Mountain Radar has fostered education through its active intern program, training projects, University support and mentoring programs.
