    Thumbs down Its Over now!! KA Band Speed Signs!!

    I live in Minnesota, and for the first time ever I picked up C/O Ka band, thought like every other time, its a Leo , but nooooooooooooo, a your speed is.. Sign. This sucks, soon they will be on every street like the k band ones and we will begin to have no use for radar detectors.

    The lidar makes them almost useless, unless you live in another state where you can run a laser jammer.

    Know this?? Thoughts?

    I think radar detectors will become damn near useless in the future, but not because of speed signs.

    That is pretty interesting though. I've never seen or heard of Ka speed sign I don't think.

    Mostly K in Ohio, K & Ka signs in PA. But just saw an X-band sign on 80 near Willaimsport.

    Next thing they'll be shooting pulsing radar or laser!

    I have a picture floating around of a KA speed sign, one of the first I remember like 3-4years ago on this site with the V1.

    Ka speed sign = RD testing opportunity.

    No doubt.

    I have a similar testing scenario everyday that I am out in town. There is a courthouse right in the middle of my town, which is where the same few leos leave their cars overnight. One of the cars has K band radar and the others have Ka band equipment. You can approach them from the sides, behind, and in front of them. I was having issues with my V1 performance for a long time, due to mounting locations; testing with these patrol cars is how I tweaked my mount positioning for optimal performance. If I had a video camera, I could post some pretty nice testing videos, but unfortunately, I don't at the moment.
