Vdub, that Spectre III looks like it is angled towards the ground. Using Spectre RDD's for truck enforcement has always made me LOL. Come and get me.

I thought so too? It might clear up some of the reports of DPS shooting K band.

I seem to remember picking up a K band blast years ago from a DPS F150 pickup but that was before I was a member of this forum and really started tracking frequencies.

The antenna looks too big to be 35.5.

I have seen a few Tx Dps run C/O K band on the interstates

Default Re: TXDPS using spectre RDD?

Anyone know how widespread Spectre RDD is with the TX DPS and what generation of Spectre they use?

I have not seen it in their cruisers around DFW.

Also, anyone know if any Sheriff or local city department use Spectre in TX?

On the Interstates, I rarely see DPS hiding, they normally sit right on the shoulder in plain sight but many of their cruisers have no roof mounted emergency light bar. City LEOs use stealth a lot - they like to hide where it is hard to see them.

Disclaimer: I do not live in Texas, so I have had zero experience with Spectre units down there but my general consensus would have to be the following:


The use may be wide-spread (since we are talking staties here... so it most likely is all over the state), but the more important thing: The frequency of use likely wouldn't be very high. In other words: They are most likely all around the state, but with relatively low numbers (scattered) throughout the state.

Maybe just a few per each-barracks, this way each barracks has the ability to hit the highways and superslabs and look for offending big-riggers.


You will be very unlikely to see such equipment in a Sheriff or local department, simply because they don't have the funds/backing that the staties normally do (and also their jobs involve more of the standard 'police' aspect, whereas staties often just patrol such places as the interstate, so it is more likely going to be profitable for staties anyways, since large volumes of trucks go by in those areas).

In other words:

I wouldn't worry about it as long as you aren't a trucker (using an RD) out on the interstate-highways.


Again, I could be wrong, but that would be my general feeling on the matter.

If you are riding alongside trucks, I would say be prepared for it.

If he is sitting there shooting IO, why wouldn't he flick on the RDD? It only makes sense. If I am fishing in a lake, and my line is in the water, why wouldn't I turn on my "Huge Fish Alerter" so that I can put my beer down and hold onto the pole before the biggest bass I have ever seen takes my pole with him to the bottom of the lake?
