    Default KU IN CA?

    I just had to write and share my KU encounterS with everyone. I noticed that when I was at a local Target shopping mall no matter where I went my Bel had a level of KU at one bar. I have everything enabled including SWS (I know, I know!) This happened about a couple of days ago. and it never did this before. No helicopters that I noticed or miltitary bases around. This is bugging the crap out of me because I don't know where it is coming from. Everytime I come into the mall parking lot it does this now. I have had KU enabled before and nothing and now 1 bar constantly. What are your thoughts about this. I don't believe there is a CHP nearby at least none I've noticed, no helicopters, nothing. It never goes past one bar at any point in the mall and continues up to the freeway then it vanishes. Just to be as informative as possible. Thanks in advance!

    As far as I know of there is no Ku guns in use in the USA to date. As for what would cause a Ku false, I don't know, nut have heard of it happening before.

    There is NO Ku radar in the US. A number of things can cause Ku false alerts, also some detectors might misidentify other bands as Ku. I recommend turning OFF Ku in the US, so that you don't potentially degrade performance on other bands that are real threats.

    I don't think the RX65 would be able to detect it that well if it was Ku band anyway.

    I played around with my RX65 when I first got it. My cheap-o E795 would set everything off on the RX65...including Ka.

    It would make a lot more sense that there was some kind of leaky detector setting you off. Especially in a populated parking lot.

    Default satelite

    I think some satelite dishes set off ku band but not for certain? I have had some ku falses lately on my V1. Good luck!

    Well, if you're up for it, you could rig up a smallish 12volt battery to your RX65 and start walking around the strip mall until you find the source. V1 arrows are handy for this, but I'm sure you could get by with out them. Once you locate the source, let us know what it is?
