    They use K band too. Also constant-on Ka.

    Lidar is most noteable on the thruway.

    In NY I have never seen anything else. I sometimes come upon them running constant Ka which is nice.

    As for the rest of the states, just go to the Speed Trap Info forum and check out the sticky. Those bands are specific to state-level enforcement.

    I know that NC state troopers use mostly K Ka, but I have also seen a few in the backwoods (yes they were state) that still had X

    I heard that Whistlers have just about as good Laser detection as the V1.. is this true?

    Cobras have excellent detection ability. Don't know about Whistlers. V1 is the best.
