What Band do your Cops use?

inabis · 05-07-2008, 10:10 AM

My X band is pissing me off. It goes off like crazy and it has never been a cop so I was thinking about turning it off. So I figured I'd try to create a list to see what cops in which state use what bands. I'll start

Colorado: Ka

x-band is most likely automatic doors and Security Systems

even more specific if you want.

Ka in north NJ, but they sometimes use X in south NJ.

Oh and every time I'm on the GSP, LASER! I hate that crap!

Once you know you've been hit, it's too late.

I thought that Ku was only in Europe?

Chicago cops (especially on Lake Shore Drive) used X band about 3 years ago, and switched to Ka and K. I've seen more laser in the suburbs.
