    tractors use k-band transmitters to monitor speed, they don't use wheel speed.

    Poor Quality Vid from my Blackberry. It was lighting up to K band. I just didn't get it to show up on the vid and as I drove away I was getting a rear alert for a couple seconds. It a sprayer for the crops!

    I get K-band falses from certain PennDOT construction equipment.

    I've run into those a few times. Without the arrows I would be waiting for I/O down the road. I never would have suspcted farm equipment until I saw that for myself.

    haha this happened to me a few days ago passing a tractor. i was sooo confused.
    the weirdest false i have had was a laser from a huge carwash led sign. it only does it on certain ads tho. it scared the crap out of me the first time. haha.
