In garage ka?

**DogGod** · 10-03-2006, 10:31 AM

I went out to the garage today to have a smoke, and I hear a beep-beep coming from my car. I look at my 8500 and it is saying 2 very low power Ka, both of the garage doors are closed and there is nothing that would set it off inside the garage. I changed it to spec mode and it said 33.200, what could cause this, and is 33.200 police radar? Thanks.

33.200 is outside of the police radar band, so it probably isn't police radar. So: false alert...

MMMM? I wonder why it happens some times, and other times it doesnt. It picks up K band just fine, Ka isnt used much around here. Thanks Jim!

It's not working correctly since it has the vaunted "Service Required" messege. Maybe your 8500 is going out?

Mine doesnt say "service required".

It happened again later this afternoon, went from 33.200 to 35.413 to 35.3xx then back to 35.413. I wish my city had a ka speed sign or something that emmited a true Ka signal.

I meant to type my 8500 has the Service Required and was showing 2 K band signals.

No motion sensor lighting in my garage, I have one of those fancy park helper things, but they havnt been working in quite some time. It only happens when the garage door is closed.
