    Default XTR-695 Ka 33.8 Save

    Was coming back on the I-5 from Portland to Seattle last night. Was pushing 85MPH in 60MPH zone for over 100 miles. At about 70 miles, received a 33.8 Ka threat, so I released cruise control to drop speed to 60MPH. 10 seconds later, it was at Ka5-6, then went up to Ka7-9 shortly after and stayed at 8-9, the signal growing stronger for a good minute. I didn't see the cop, but it was definitely a speed trap. Awesome advanced 33.8 detection!

    This model does GREAT with C/O 35.5, 34.7, 33.8 as I can see from personal experience so far, driving about 13,000 miles with the XTR-695.

    My Dad was driving my car a couple days ago and encountered 33.8 ka band. He was able to see the good range the 695 provided. I also had a K band encounter yesterday, I wasn't speeding so I wouldn't consider it a save.

    Not suprised. The 695 eats Ka for breakfast.

    Haha, yeah. You're pretty much f**ked when it comes to I/O and a skilled LEO. Not much you can really do about it. Although... one time I was lasered without a jammer at the time doing like 75 in a 55, and thought, "F**K!!" So I floored it to like 90-100MPH to an exit on the right, took another right into town with heavy traffic (luckily) and drove into a parking lot for 10 minutes. Yeah, I know. I'm a bad ass. I actually got away.

    My friend and I were driving to college a couple of years ago back when I was running my Whistler 1732 DE. He also had a Cobra. My radar detector was going off on K band. He floored it because we were running a little late. (He was in a 4 cyl Grand Am, I was driving my 1999 Nissan Maxima at the time.) Soon after I see a cop going after him. Sounded like the cop was going WOT.

    I saw the cop driving very quickly up and down the street but my friend was nowhere to be found. He was late for class and I asked him where he went. Turns out he turned into a hospital parking lot and lost him there before the cop came up the hill. If he was caught he'd be in some sort of trouble. His Cobra didn't alert to K band at all. He ended up seeing the cop with the lights on in his rearview mirror. I'm still trying to figure out how he actually lost the cop.

    I love it how TX DPS quick trigger me and pull in the median to chase me but can't get over cause of the 100 cars in the left lane behind me. The look on there face is price less.

    I had a similar experience, cop nailed me sitting on the shoulder, lit up his lights, i was going 80, i looked in the rear view and he couldnt get on the interstate, a parade of cars behind me all rolling at a good clip, screw it i said, i had a huge jump on him, floored it and got off the next exit. Went and parked at the mall for about 20 minutes, never saw him.
