Not sure where you hail from, but Ka band is pretty well used up here in Minnesota
and Wisconsin. My hometown, Wisconsin Rapids, WI, has only 18,000 people and the
local cops ARE using Ka band for radar. I know because I asked my brother-in-law
who has friends on the city police and county sheriffs departments. I currently
use a Uniden X-K-Ka dectector, falses a bit around semi-trucks (running jammers?),
but otherwise has saved my bacon more than once. Next step is a V1, if I can only
talk my fiancee into letting me spend $400.
