    New York State .....Troopers use Dual Stalker Ka band........and a lot of it, every car is equipped with radar, heavy enforcement between Rochester and Albany on interstate. Good Ka detector is a must.
    They are relentless. NY State also use a lot of speed/information signs that emit a strong K signal. Very annoying.
    Vermont Ka and K band, not nearly as agressive as New York State.
    Vermont is a mountainess state, where as upper NY sate is flat and the interstate is is good repair......speeding is very tempting.

    There are some really nice twisties in Vt. Not always high-speed, but more fun the faster you go It's really a beautiful countryside, and it's very odd when you see another car like yours pass you going the other way...

    I never see (original) Saab 900's anywhere. But cross into Vt and you will see a very very small number of Saab 900's! :? Usually the only one I'll see are mine.

    Now I'm definitely thinking that might need the rx65 back since i go to school in near that area and i am consistently on the throughway , but i think 4miles is a good enough reading with the 995, I'll take it easy on the way up to really see my threats

    Well yeah i know the highways are in good condition, coming home one night from school back to the island the kid i was with was doing 80-100 the whole trip, got a plane caught us at 90mph, he got it down to 10 over in traffic court with a lawyer

    crazyVOLVOrob,

    During my frequent commutes to Troy, NY in the 80's instant-on K ruled on the Thruway and Northway (watchout particularly in Glen Falls around Saratoga).

    My last trip as part of our radar detector comparison we encountered Ka.
