CHP has an exclusive contract with Applied Concepts, the company that makes the Stalker. So, CHP uses only 34.7Ka and laser.

It is also quite common here in NY. Troopers use it almost exclusively and about 60% of the locals also used 34.7. I would say 95% or more of my encounters are stalker.

x2, Its also this way in CT, and occasionally 35.5 in NY.

Escort was thinking when they make there RD's, if a particular band is used more than any other why not tweak it instead of being the king of something that is allot less likely to encounter.

34.7 is Stalkers I believe. So the Escort whups the V1's butt on that freq. Interesting. Is the difference that really noticeable?

Yes, sometimes it's 15 or 20 seconds. Off axis is not even close.

I agree. I have seen a 20% change in humidity noticeably affect the alert range to K band door openers around town. And keep in mind that Ka band is even more severely affected by atmospheric humidity.
