Holy man I've searched everywhere on what the different radar bands mean. Even howstuffworks.com didnt explain it. But I learned alot about radar detectors
But what do the KA, K, X etc bands mean on radar? My Bel talks to me, displaying the number and then saying what band it is.
I dont get it, I'm sure by it talking and telling me what band it is its trying to tell me something, but right now its just another dumb voice I have to listen to when I drive.
Can ANYONE please explain it, or point me to a good site? TIA <br>
ka band are mostly used by police (you hear this go off slow down instanly)
k band is most use band for radar it alos used on automatic doors
x band is all flase alarms unless you go through a hick town ( i havn't seen any cops use this band as of yet)
im sure u know about laser if u get taged with and your seppeding just pull your car of the road and wait for the cop <br>

Thanks guys, I get it now. :p <br>
Don't forget VG-2
This is a device that keeps your Detector from being detected. They use this alot in my town. It's a Radar Detector Detector <br>

VG-2 only is useful where detectors are illegal. In the USA this is only Virgina and Washington AFAIK. I normally run with VG-2 off.
Also I wouldn't always ignore X band. I get it alot iby towns by me. On the other hand in the next town over cows out number people 3-1(yet I'm about halfway between newark and NYC
) On the same aspect I only pay attention to X when it gets past its lowest level.
^^^ Hes right i was drivng tonight through a place thats know for a-hole cops and i saw X band go off on my detector. I slowed down to the speed limit the person next to me kept flying ahead. And sure enough BAM! i see these lights go on the cop pulls out and pulls the guy over. <br>

VG2 detects it and protects you from being detected. The only thing is if you still get pulled over the cop can still see your detector and give you a ticket.
Its only illegal in like 1 or 2 provinces. Sask is fine <br>
its illegal in ontario too.
illegal in manitoba...there are signs when you come into manitoba at both sask, and ontario saying they are illegal. i think they are legal in sask and alberta tho..correct me if i'm wrong.

So r u sure its illegal in ontario to have one, also can any radar detectors detect laser too?
Illegal in ontario, Nova Scotia too. I'm pretty much certain they're illegal in all of Canada
That cop took the whole thing way out of context. I mean, I was only going 145 Km/h in that
80 km/h zone because I was drunk and I wanted to get off the roads.
cops in ontario wont ticket you for the radar dector if they see it, they will say that its illegal and take it from you and thats it.
Illegal in all of Canada, except BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan

Cops in Ontario WILL ticket you. If you get pulled over on a 400 series highway by the OPP they'll tell you its illegal, take it away, AND ticket you for having the detector, as well as speeding. They just launched a new initiative aimed at targeting people using radar detectors, and are being very strict about it. I'm sure you could get away with it with some town cops, especially if you know them, but the hughway rangers are stiffly enforcing it .
