Cobra radar detectors.
RMR "detectors".
I have read somewhere that credit card machines being used in places like convienient stores use satalite communications. They use frequencies in the Ka Band, but I don't remeber the specific frequency. If my memory serves me correct, I think they are also using frequencies in the Ku Band as well, although not an issue for us.
Also, I read this a long time ago. Might have been talking about companies applying for the use of satalite communications for credit card machines. If anyone can expand, please do.
A very strong K band can put out an image that will make your RD think it has found Ka band.
Even high-end detectors can mistake K for Ka when it is strong enough. ==
My neighbor's Direct Tv dish, which sits on the ground, gives me a Ka alert; but it is a very weak signal.Quote:
