    Thumbs up Radar bands to be worried about?

    Hey, i have noticed that certain frequencies of radar are the ones you need to be worried about. (like 35.5 Ka). I was wondering if someone could let me know what frequencies i should be worried about aka the ones that are common for police radar as i have a 9500i and it displays the frequencies... thanks!

    Any unconfirmed signal from a radar detector is a potential threat...

    Common Freqs (but there are others)
    10.525 GHZ X Band
    24.150 GHZ Kband
    33.8 GHZ Ka Band
    34.7 GHZ Ka Band
    35.5 GHZ Ka Band

    But variation of +/- 0.1 GHZ can be seen with real LEO radar. So don't ignore a 24.120 or 34.655 reading for example.

    Treat all Ka hits as a potential threat, even if it's outside the "norm". You could be dealing with an out of tune radar gun.

    +1. But remember it also depends on the Rd you have. Some false more than others.
