    Default Names Blake from Katy Texas Pic**

    Hello everyone!
    Names Blake and as you can see I am located in Katy Texas.
    My first radar detector was a escort passport 8500 x50 blue. Unfortunately it was stolen from me in the school parking lot. I loved it so much i decided to purchase another one and I've been using it for the last year or so. I'm glad to be a member and like the other forums I have been on i hope to learn a lot, because one can never have to much knowledge, and contribute it back to newbies as well. My first question is what spectrum do the police usually use? I switched my settings so that it would show the band number i was getting hit with and 90% of the time if it is in the 30ish range its usually a cop and 20ish range is a false alarm. Is this true?? Last a picture of my ride. You can see why i need a RD.




    Thanks and see you on the board- Blake

    Welcome,

    Please cover your license plate as soon as possible and your showing full identity as well.. It is not safe.

    Yes, false alarms tend to be outside the normal police range, because they are not, nor do they need to be, made to as tight of tolerances.

    Got the plates covered. Didnt realize i had to be so confidential but i can see why. Doesnt matter anyways because just the other day i discovered i got a collapsed lifter so it will be in the garage for a while now. Thank you for the warm welcome. And justin could you explain the different radars the Katy PD uses.

    Thanks-Blake
