I think those are K band aren't they? I've mostly picked up actual police officers with KA band. Are the different bands of radar just versions of older tech and new tech or can all of them be used in current "guns"?

My way of mitigating this is by using the GPS to block out signals I know are false, and if there are new ones, after about 10 seconds of driving, if the signal isn't getting stronger, then it's a false reading. No biggie, that's why it has a nice big mute button. ![]() Quote:
Originally, it was X band, then they started using K band, and now Ka band for LEO. Typically, the smaller the agency, the less money they have, so the less high end detectors they will have. Your big city cops will have the newer stuff, Laser/POP/Instant On/etc, but most Rural/county agencies will just use Ka/K radar. So once AGAIN, it is on you the driver to know who/what you're up against. The detector is a tool, but it's not a magic wand.
