[venexoz]

I know this has been answered before but I was not able to find it. Supposedly the used of X band by the cops is illegal, but driving on the turnpike I got shot about two times with it, also one of the tolls had a speed readers using X band. Those anyone knows anything about it??

I could have sworn I watched UF campus police ticket people with constant on X. But I doubt my memory especially with others verifying campus police use K. I read the Florida law myslef, X is not allowed period.

Could have been a coiencidence/false. In either way if it was X, it would just be a PIA just to go to court, easy win yes, but waste of time. annoying.

But could our RD screw up and process a K band signal as a X band, thus getting it mixed up, and if we have X disabled, we would be screwed!

If UF uses x band for some reason I'm focked, well I haven't really gone faster than the speed limit there becuase I know they really look for people speeding and they would get you.

I have been back through campus and only found K band. Other have also verified only K, so I do not know why I may have thought I had a X incounter back then. I would not worry about X band. Turn it off and have a pleasent ride.

15B-2.0082 Minimum Design Criteria for Radar Units.
(1) ...
(2) All radar units used in this State on or after January 1, 1995 shall be designed to operate in the
following frequency ranges as assigned by the Federal Communications Commission for operation of
Doppler radar radio-location units.
24.050 – 24.250 GHz (K-Band) (Common
33.400 – 36.000 GHz (Ka – Band) Referrals)
The radar must have a Doppler audio operating in the range 300 Hz to 4.0 KHz.

By State law, X band should not be used. This doesn't mean it's not being used, just that were you to get a ticket and take it to court, if the unit was an X-band unit, it should be tossed.

Hope that helps a bit.
