I ran into a tactic that I haven't seen before here in Ontario this past week-end. I got a K-Band alert from my Bell STI as I approached a highway overpass and slowed to near the limit before the...
I was hit last week by an oncoming LEO equipped with a K-Band radar in a 80KPH zone. I started to slow when I saw him (down shifted) and once again when he lit me up with IO. I got down from 125KPH...
The situation was a LEO on an onramp shooting at cars passing by on the highway in Ontario where RDs are illegal. If you are speeding, and your illegal RD goes off and you jam on the brakes, the LEO...
I encountered a LEO running KA in Ottawa last week-end. He was on the top of a bus only onramp shooting cars from behind. Fortunetly he was using constant on and I got reflection back from cars ahead...
I have gotten two extended KA alerts near the same major int'l airport, and neither time have I been able to locate the source. On the last one it stayed at near full alert on my STI while there was...
Thanks to all. My search technics need work
The suction cups from Bell have lost their ability to stay on the windshield. Has anyone else experienced this and found a way to recondition them? Thanks. Search didn't help, but that may be my...
Thanks for your response. I had about the same warning as you do. One was a constant on from a parked LEO at the Watertown freeway construction pointed away from my approach (reflection from oncoming...
I'm just back from a short run into northern NY State fro Canada to Syracuse. My STi picked up four KA radars but all in quite short range. What frequency are they using there, does anybody know-is...
Thanks for this. I encountered the same sort of experience following an Audi SUV a week ago. I thought that my STi was having problems. I followed the Audi and a non-descript van for over 60 miles...
You might want to look at my 8 Jul posting on experiencing 10 Ka hits in NY State. In hindsight I suspect that they were working for an extended 4 Jul week-end and that's why there were so many in...
The OPP also use K on the 417. If you have a Porshe you shouldn't mount the RD on the windshield as it will damage the glass. Otherwise, a high, behind the tint mounting, either with the suction...
The OPP use K Band in the area, especially on the 416, and sometimes in conjunction with Lidar. I have encountered constant on K (the OPP seem to think that they have eliminated RDs) quite often, and...
Sorry, I wasn't nearly clear enough The car I suspect was the Spectre car was 8-10 Kms from the one running k and Lidar.
I've noticed what seems to be a new tactic by the OPP near Ottawa.
-A patrol car sitting at the end of an on ramp running what apperas to be a Spectre sweap.
-Further along, a car in the...
I didn't get the freq
Do they tend to run IO, or CO in upsate NY? I have encountered two IO in the area, but both times I was near the PSL-once though he hit me as I was going the PSL enroute to much higher-timing is...
Sorry if this has been raised before. I had a very strong KA hit on my STI yesterday, but I wan't able to locate any source; doesn't mean it wasn't there, but I couldn't locate it. However, I've had...
Great choice of car, and RD!. In my G35 sedan I put my STI on the top left of my windshield, just peeking under the tint line, with the power cable running inside the A pillar and hooked over the sun...
Thank you all. Not at sure that RDs are particularly helpful, certainly not in NY State.
Sorry if this is an old question. I was in Northern NY state yesterday and encountered both K and Ka but only when the LEO car was in sight and moving towards me, both times on a secondary road. This...
I encountered an "instant on" K, yesterday targeting other cars a full minute or so before I reached his location in the median of a 4 lane hwy (my speed was approx 65 mph): a lot of turns, woods,...
Thank you both. Perfectly clear to me now.
Forgive my ignorance, but is all KA instant on? I sometimes detect what appears to be low level KA in what aI have assumed to be stand-by mode in LEO cars. If I detect full KA is that always instant...
I have recently moved my STI from a dash mount (black dash) to a stealth mode out of direct sunlight. As a result, the heat of the RD has been reduced considerably. Prior to that I had loosely...
