WOW! Most highly populated areas don't run X-Band around here.. Must be a budget issue and cost of equipment.. In Texas the K-Band is generally local cops, KA and Pop Gun by DPS State Troopers and Sheriff's normally have KA and Laser..

I've only seen POP once. LASER is typically only used when the conditions are favorable, and the rest of the time it is Ka. No matter how good your detector, it'll never outsmart a tricky cop that only turns his gun once he has a good fix on you... the detector is noce but i am still a firm believer in using your eyes.

For sure.. I don't use the radar to get away.. Honestly if I wanted to not get caught, I'd take a fish finder and mount it behind my bumper LMAO.. Course if I get caught, thats one HELLACIOUS fine down here!

Ok, now I'm curious. Never heard of the fishfinder thing. Does that just act as a jammer?

Yep and it's HIGHLY illegal.. The sonar reflects the signal and errors out the device.. Use to be the old school way of jamming their signals LOL

Tell the wife that you want the vent visors to knock down the wind coming in the window seals....... Also, get the ones you stick on the outside, not mount in the felt window channels. I lost both of mine on the interstate cracking the windows for a smoke.
