    SURPRISE : LEO with a radar gun in is hand , hiding behind i big sign near the road , pointing at cars ........and 3 cars(leo) 140 feet away :ready to start at someone.

    My local county sheriff's department is still equipped with K band radar units, and the local town cops are more or less evenly split with K and Ka radars. K band is far from dead in a lot of smaller towns and very rural counties.

    ty for your information , btw i live 50 milles north of MTL , QC Canada. in a

    small town , they have a K radar , KA , and laser, as far that i know. a PO said to me that they dont have RDD.

    anyway i did not take chances in case they buy RDD or i go in a other town.

    it is illegal in QC , Canada to have a RD.!!!!!!!!!!!



    btw the STI DRIVER is very sensitive. i like it. it worth the price. (400)

    K band isn't that rare. The OPP use K band almost exclusively.

    There are both K band and Ka band handheld radar units, though the K band tend to be older designs.

    What province are you in that you're so surprised to see K band?

    K and Ka band radar units can be handheld or fixed mounted and is still widely used today.

    Time has changed.

    When I was in high school, circa 1996, with my old Whisler, X = junk, K = cop, never ever picked up a Ka band.
