Has Anyone Ever run into Laser on North I 87

I'm taking a trip to Canada and would like to know has anyone ever experience Laser on North I 87. My experience with I 87 the more you start heading North the more radar you will run into. I have always said Laser is useless in upstate NY on I87 because a Trooper is lucky to see 50 cars per HR since Volume of traffic is really low. I cant see a Trooper holding a Laser gun every 10 mins waiting for a car to drive by. Please let me know Thank YOU

Question what are the chances running into Laser on N I 87 (not around Albany, Poughkeepsie, Plattsburgh these are urban places better chance of running into Laser) ?

I just did about 300 miles on I-87 through NY a week ago and all I really encountered was C/O 34.7 Ka-Band. No laser.

You'll see mostly Ka and Laser. I've encountered both at night time!

I'm in Canada right now and I have to say that I didn't run into any Laser at all only 34.7 or 34.669 (I think). I did have a an alert that was so close I thought he had me but I guess I slow down fast enough. The band was 34.6 something, my Bel STI R alert just in time and my V1 has been doing a great job. I ran into about 10 Troopers 3 no alert 3 pull someone over and the others waiting for speeders. For my trip back home does anyone has any ideas what program I should use for Bel STI R right now I have it set to RDR OFF, 2,5,8 ON , Laser OFF, POP ON, K OFF, X OFF.

I'm starting to think should I turn off POP would that help for better detection with the BEL STI R and also should I turn off program 2, up here its all 34.7. I wont turn off 5 since V1 sucks picking that up and you never know if I run into it.

Thanks for your answers

My friend received a ticket on I87 with radar. Stalker Dual, probably C/O

Hey, well what detector was he using V1 or Bel STIR R or something else ? One thing I have learn in New York City or LI when you here a KA Band Alert doesn't mean it actually radar. But driving upstate when you hear a KA alert that means SLOW DOWN, no matter what because the chances that it is a false is slim to none.

Talking to me? She wasn't using anything. I told her a month ago to get one and she didn't...

OO ic ic that sucks, hopefully she will get one now. After the first ticket you start to think about getting one.

OO so yeah should I take POP off or leave it on ? I'm just wondering. To see if I have better detection on my Bel STI R. My V1 is actually alerting very close to me BEL STI R. I assume beacsue I have my BEL STI R mounted behind my plastic Grill who knows or it could be that I'm running to detectors at once.

I've been up I-87 North to Quebec twice this summer and I have never encountered Laser. Just KA band from NYSP. One time it was with my Beltronics Vector 985 and I had several saves on the way up and on the way down. Mostly C/O KA band. The second time was with my 40 dollar Whistler 1730 and I was actually quite impressed by it's ability to sniff out KA band It gave just enough warning to slam on the brakes.

There are no KA falses on I 87 north. If the RD alerts KA it's almost always a cop.
