Strong K band from passanger car, RMR?

[polakatl]

A few weeks ago a guy in a Santa Fe drove me completely nuts. It took me ~10min to pass this joker. I was driving at my regular high rate of speed when I got a K band alert on my V1 from the front. I slowed down and the strength was low and steady. I gradually sped up and it ramped up. Eventually (I was being cautious) it went full blast as I was passing a Hyundai. The arrows went to the side and then rear. I let him pass to verify and looked at the windshield. It was dark but he had an rd with green lights.

The K band was so strong that it was reporting a mile away. I pulled over to get in touch with nature and a few minutes later I got the K alert again as I was catch back up to the Hyundai.

I was amazed at the signal strength I was getting from this car. Could it have been an RMR "jammer" putting out its BS? I doubt a cobra could be that strong.

doubt it was an rmr; i've ran accross a few and no alerts.

he may have some old school "jammer" that constantly emits k band noise

It's probably some sort of leaking detector that leaks on K. Or maybe hyundai's into adaptive cruise too...

Yea, thats what I was thinking, forget the brand name of those RDs...

Could be a Cobra or PNI...

I highly doubt this. Its possible, but I don't think it was the car's electronics emitting this K band.

It could have been a Uniden (aka Unidung), those things were notorious for leaking as bad as a radar gun on any of the 3 radar bands.

Crapras cause Ka falses mostly.

Or maybe he had a radar gun sitting on his passenger seat.

had the same issue. i took forever to pass him since i thought a leo was in front of me. once i passed him i was hammer down, and it took a full 1/4 mile to get away from the alert
