34.0 Hmmmm....

[Edwv30]

I was on my way to the store earlier and the police were setting up road blocks for the fireworks tonight. My XTR-695 was alerting 34.0...have only seen this happen with Cobra's. I thought the RSID may have been misreading the frequency but it alerted to 34.0 again on the way home. I put the 78SE in my car and drove back to the road blocks...same thing.

The locals normally run 34.7 so I am wondering if the radar gun was out of tune? There were 4 separate police cars...is it possible that they all, (or a couple of them), had their radar on and confused the Whistlers? I definitely will not be ignoring 34.0 alerts in the future!

and the mystery continues....

Yeah...and my Belscort is out on loan until next week. It would have been useful tonight and possibly cleared a few things up. I still say there were multiple radar guns running as I can't imagine a unit being that far out of tune. It was a four way intersection with a local on each corner.

Snoopyc4 has caught his 78se id a 35.5 threat as 34.3

Well, they also use 35.5 here but it's not as prevalent. I may wait until traffic lightens up and take another trip down the road to see what in the @!$# is going on.

Two locals remain...both on same side of street\intersection...RSID now displays 35.5.

Interesting...

[Edwv30]

I am not s sure what to think. Is it a harmonics issue? Do the Whistlers have difficulties differentiating frequencies between multiple radar sources?

I do know that I normally ignore KA9 falses and 34.0 signals but I am, (now), not sure if that's the correct thing to do. I have definitely observed a 34.0 RSID as a verifiable radar source\threat.

Aaaargh....I may have to relearn everything I thought I knew...

Maybe your locals got a new Ka 35.5 radar unit.

Seriously? Can't we have an open discussion on this board?
