    Default Drone Antics

    Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

    Driving on Interstate 80 in Omaha, Nebraska, I have noticed full bursts of K band radar that go from 0 dots to full strength for less than 2 seconds then go away just as quickly.

    At all of these alerts, there are white tube-like things with a solar panel above them mounted on the streetlights pointed onto either direction of road.

    I am pretty sure that these are K drones, since the alerts come at the same time on the interstate, but I am wondering if I could get any more background on the use of drones, and why my V1 only alerts to them at like 100 ft.

    Are they pulsed? or running Vg2 and shooting as soon as they detect my radar detector? Sometimes the alert comes full fromt he rear, otherwise from the front, and sometimes it doesnt alert to them at all. Any information provided would be very appreciated.

    Thanks guys.

    From my understanding some are on a timed Pulse which shoot
    out at a set interval. Is this what you saw?

    They're put there to slow down detector owners.

    Wouldn’t it be a shame if all the solar panels got a thick coat of paint one night. :twisted:

    Man, if you're going to get up that high to PAINT it you might as well.. commandeer it. Solar panels are expensive, let them put that "revenue" back to where it's obviously going.

    The state should spend their federal highway money more efficiently.
    For example, better English lessons for our public schools. :idea:

    Orbital75 is a sexy man.

    Yea thats exactly what I saw. Kinda stupid cause I couldnt figure out what was going on. Thanks for the info.

    Kinda sucks I cant program them out of the V1, since its a full strength alert... Unless I want to turn off K. Or not.
