    Default K band is alive in CT

    After 5 years of never seeing a cop using K band in CT I ran into a CT trooper doing C/O K band in the break down lane on Rt 2 north in Glastonbury going into Hartford. I almost got caught because I thought it was another drone or speed sign and kept going over PSL until I started to see brake lights. I couldn't believe my eyes. A CT cop running K band! Anyone else encounter this in CT? I rarely even see KA band here, it's all laser.

    I can't speak for CT, but I've never been anywhere that hasn't used K band pretty regularly. I wish K band was out of the question in my area, but K band is the band of choice here.

    I saw K band on RT 84 on the CT/NY boarder the other day.

    it seems like southern CT has a lot more troopers using radar than in northern CT.

    I was coming home from Maryland this past summer and I ran a trooper using K-Band. I can't remember what exits it was near, but it was on I-95 North. I go to the University of Hartford in CT and travel I-91 from exists 32 to 48 North and South since I go home on weekends in MA. When I do pass troopers they are never using radar, it's always laser. But like I said, I did have the one K-band incident this past summer.

    ^ K band has been alive for a long time. There have been recent vids with K band being used by CT troopers on the Hutch at the gas stations. I/O blasts

    this is on the merrit parkway. In southern CT. I think it's still alive in that part of the state but here in central and northen CT radar is almost non-existent. This is why I was so surprised when I ran into it K band near hartford. I can't ignore K band anymore lol.
