I checked the local forums and looked into bands and in NY and CT said no X band, this forum gets more traffic and I am going to take a trip in the next few days and wanted to double check that is there is no X band.
Thanks

I live in upstate NY and travel downstate alot. Never encountered a X-band LEO in the past 5 years.
X2 ^^ No X band from Syracuse to Albany to Binghamton.
Only had one X band encounter in NY, but it was in the middle of nowhere upstate, and that was many years ago. I herd of 2 random ones on 87 in Westchester.
NY & CT have tons of KA, some K & laser. The bands dominance is dependant on where in NY & CT.
I can assure you there is X-Band in use in upstate NY. Not much at all but a few of the locals around here do use it. You will not see it in the major areas or on the Thruway or Northway.
The small town I live in in has one cop car with X band still in use. They hardly ever use it but it is there. (the LEO who cannot keep his clip-on tie together is usually driving that car). The other cars are Stalker singles. They had a DWI check a few months back and the 9500I alerted to X at first from that car and then Ka from the other cars as I got closer. I have also heard one of the local sherriffs car still has x band but I have not seen it. As recently as May I was hit by X band by the sole local car in Charleton (not sure why they even have a car the town is so small and he sits at the same spot each time).
So there is X band here but way out of the main drags and it would be very rare to see it in action.
CT state leos - K band and various laser guns including the truspeed
Back from trip, I went from NJ 95 up thru NY to CT.
Barely, any cops out, even on the GSP, I saw a few unmarked with customers. In NY not one cop, except on my trip home with KA driving the opposite direction. In CT I saw one cop coming and going. No Laser. Only X band I had were falses up 95, so I had LoX on my 995, helped alot.
Overall, boring trip and on the way home had a nice Audi A4 as a rabbit, everytime I would go to pass then he would speed up in the left, he did not want to give up the left lane.............dumba*s.
