Hello Everyone!

Great to see a fellow local person! I'm actually from Raymond, off of rt. 101 but I'm in manchester almost daily. Mainly drive 101 to 93 and all across the city. For radar I typically see Ka with some K encounters. I haven't had any laser encounters, as I only have the 9500ix and it's mounted high, near my rearview mirror so it's hard to pick up any laser if they are using it.

Even if your detector doesn't alert to laser you can usually spot them using it since it's harder to hide in the trees when using laser. You'll see the cop looking through a HUD eyepiece on the top of the unit and there'll be 2 lenses on the shooting end of the gun.

I have a friend who commutes 101 to 95 daily and has seen an Ultralyte used there. In most other places the stateys use PL3s. Manchester has a PL3 as well, though I haven't seen them out with it in a couple years.

Do you run your ix in Spec Display mode so you can see the frequencies? The stateys are primarily 34.7 Ka (Stalker) guns, while locals and counties have 35.5 Ka or K band. Manchester is 99% K still, but they do have a cruiser or three with Decatur 35.5 Ka guns.

That's good to know, thank you very much. I actually haven't tried out the Spec Display mode yet, I think I will have to give that one a try.

Thanks again for the welcome everyone!
