The longest confirmed Ka band I have with my new Escort Passport Max was 11 miles on a raid trip to Sacramento. I had 2 radar detectors, one set to spec mode which gives me the frequency of the radar. I had a blip 11 miles out, went away, another stronger blip 5 miles out, and for the last 2.4 miles I had a constant Ka, all the same frequency until I saw the CHP officer sitting on the side of the road.
Now, 11 miles is a bit much, no one should EXPECT 11 miles. But the average range I had was 7 miles on that trip.



For arguments sake, you will almost never win from LIDAR, and you will NEVER win from instant on radar, you can just pray that the cop turn it on for another car ahead of you
