    Default Florida threats?

    Hey guys heading to Florida next week for business and just curious what bands to look out for between Orlando and Miami. I'm taking my pro 78 for the rental car.

    Thanks

    FHP got new lidar guns this year. Most are the Atlanta guns. 95% of threat is KA band. From West Palm Beach to Miami is a ton of unmarked so Dont pass cars (chargers,Impala,Crown Vics) until you confirm the car.

    Yep just went through FL on Monday andhtere was a charger fully blacked out in the center of I 75. The only thing that gave it away was the radar gun in his hand.

    Thanks for the info guys, I'll let you know about my encounters. Also Florida doesn't have any goofy laws about where I can and can't mount things do they?

    Be careful...I have seen the SO running X band on two occasions...I would keep X band turned on. Other wise they run K band. FHP mainly uses 34.7 and 35.5...have recently seen an increase in 33.8.

    Expect seeing constant on and instant on 34.7 and 35.5. C/o K band and I/O K band is also used along with laser. I've seen c/o 33.8 ka band too. I've never seen X band but my friend who drove to Jacksonville claims to have seen leos run X band on my Whistler.

    If you ever get a ticket from these Sheriffs running X band, that radar evidence should be easy to get thrown out, since X band is not an approved frequency for Florida.

    Hmmm...that's good to know. I wondering why they were running X band? The first time I encountered it was about a year ago with my Whistler and the last time was over a month ago with my RX65. They were the SO in both cases...interesting.
