Ka Band Detection

[SpeedinLancer]

My detection range on my 8500 x50 also varies greatly. I just kind of look around and pay attention to variables that could be causing the lost detection range. The majority of times it is due to coming around one of the many hills and bends this area has to offer, in other words. Off-axis shots.

On the highway where I do most of my speeding the average detection range has been about a mile, which is more then enough time to slow down.

Setting up over the crest of a hill using instant on seems more common than 1 year ago also. Good thing I have the CB cause it saves me more oftem than my RD in certain states and areas.

LOL...you guys just haven't been driving long enough. Cops have been doing that for YEARS. When I was in high school some 15 years ago, one of the PDs close to where I lived was notorious for doing just that. Incidentally, they were also one of the first PDs I saw using Ka in my area about 10-11 years ago.

I realise they have been doing this for years in the cities but I was referring to highway patrol using these tactics more.
I drive about 125 - 135 thousand miles a year... or about half a million miles in the last 4 years.
