    Default turned "k" band off.

    after living in Dover or 3 years I've finally decided to turn k band off. during the 3 years I've never ran into any officer use k band in town so I have finally had enough.

    during a 3 mile drive it will peg out at 7 bogeys or more and never shut up.

    for the past week its been a pleasant driving experience around town. if I have to head out of town it takes all of about a second to turn it back on.

    so far so good.

    Its a bold move cotton, I hope it pays off.

    Automute is what keeps mine shut up. But if you can't stand that either than off is the next best I suppose. Hope you do'nt get a ticket from a stupid K band gun.

    I think going round and round through a speed trap is playing with fire.

    They don't use k band anywhere in the cities that I drive in. I never, never get a k band. Now when I come into my city I would turn it on. I may even just set it for 30 second delay.

    I only have k band turned off when I'm in the city of Dover. If I venture out of those boundaries I always turn it off.
