Since I own a Mineoro FG80, and I was barely interested enough to test this, I will conditionally defend Hung on this one.
With the engine turned off, I could tune my FG80 to ~330 to get silence in all directions. Once I cranked the engine, I had to detune by 70 to again get to the silence threshold.
Whether the engine was on or off, the FG80 was more sensitive pointing straight ahead (or straight behind, since the FG80 cannot distinguish between front & back). So I investigated, and found that as long as the key was on, the FG80 could not be brought close to the dash without beeping. In fact, I had to detune all the way down to "30" to maintain silence close to the dash, even with the engine off. So my dash must be spewing tremendous amounts of ions!
So what do I mean by "conditionally" defend Hung? Well, the claim was, "These things cannot be used in cars with engine on," and what I found was that my FG80 can be "used" with the engine on. There is still the glaring question as to whether the FG80 is "useful", regardless of cars and engines.
