    Default California 15 fwy Experiencing Ka false, anyone know?

    Hi guys,

    Forgive me if this topic has been posted before.
    I was driving on the 15 this weekend going to Mt. High from Orange County area. As soon as I got to 15 and 10 intersection area, my V1 picked up a Ka band. At one point, It was getting full bar Ka band, the arrow was intially facing the front, side, then back.

    Does anyone know what the cause of this is? I've never seen a false Ka band before especially around highways.

    Any chance there was a speed sign there. On the 101 south of Beullton, there is a Stalker 34.7Ka fixed speed sign. Either that or you missed a well hidden CHP.

    When I lived in Chino/Ontario area I always drove over this intersection, I've got the false several times and never did locate the source, but it's there, constantly, it's a weird phenomenon and I usually only pick it up in one direction of travel.

    I know the sign and I don't believe it's Ka.

    As a matter of fact, I have never seen a Ka sign in CA, only K.

    Not only is it Ka, it's Stalker 34.7 Ka. My locals also have 2 Stalker speed trailers. I posted a video I took with my cellphone in the video section a while back doing a run with both my SRX and 9500i against one of them.
