    Default Passed by a CHP station today and whistler alerted of 34.7 Ka

    So, I passed by in front of a CHP station today and my whistler alerted me of 34.7 Ka. I think either a LEO was hiding somewhere or they just forgot to turned off their radar. Or is it a false alert?

    CHP always leaves their radar running next to weigh stations. 90% of the time.

    Probably a legit alert. Question is if your Whistler gave you enough time to slow down or would it have.

    First save? That depends on whether you were well over the PSL enough to get ticketed?
    When a Whistler SE alerts a 34.7 ID you'd also better be alerted!

    There is a Utah Highway Patrol local station I pass going to/from work every day. These guys turn on their radar when they start their engines in the parking lot, which I pick up on the overpass overlooking their parking lot.

    When I got my window tint done, it was a place across the street from them. I left the Redline plugged in and it was funny to get so many 'multiple signals detected' Ka alerts from the shift change at the UHP station.

    :
    I was going 55 in a 45 zone. When it alerted Ka band, I slowed down as quickly as possible in a safely way. While I was slowing down, it turned to 34.7 Ka and showed that continously on the RD.

    So it is a save I think.

    It's better to slow down near the scales, radar or not.
