    I've never encountered X band in Atlanta. In fact, I've turned it off. Almost all you get is laser and Ka band with some counties/cities still using K band.

    I've never seen X band in the Atlanta metro area, it's 95% laser.

    I have not come across X Band in Phoenix. I shut mine off and I regularly travel to Phoenix.

    Great. Thanks a lot. x-band off. I'm in St Louis now, Phoenix Mon-weds, Atlanta Thursday, and then back to home sweet home in Miami.

    V1 user - I am astonished by the amount of Ka going on in STL. I barely drive 5 minutes and have an encounter. When i got here, there was a copper sitting in the hotel parking lot with Ka CO. A lot of the Ka seems to be CO here.

    I didn't put land of Ka in my location for no reason.
    Where are you in STL? That's why I don't know where to get an remote mount or LJ next. LJ's are slightly more useful that a high end cobra here.

    Ok, Clayton I believe C/O Ka. Be careful on Forest Park AVE for RLC's and QT inside the park.

    Town and Country-270, 40 and 141 AKA Laser Ally- 2 out of 3 of my laser hits have been here. Also, this is the only place I have seen K-band in STL from the white charger. This is a very upscale place that has all the toys. (they pace too). I used to go to school here and had some close calls with laser. They write a lot of DWI's (I listen to them on the scanner)

    St. Charles CO uses a lot of I/O. MO-HP and STL-county like the to hide on both sides of the Blanchette Bridge on 70. I'm 20 mins west of St. Charles City.

    Watch out, some of the smaller towns on the Western side of Illinois I have heard still may have X band radar? Don't think for one minute those smaller towns don't have an old X band radar gun that gets dusted from the shelf every 3-4 weeks and gets used because this does happen. Actually it's smart thinking on the LEO to do this knowing many turn x band off. Just be careful and keep a close eye on things.
