[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 697621, member: 3828"] +1 to that. I turned off the X-band on my Escort because I don't give a damn where the automatic door openers are (and I don't ride much in New Jersey, which is apparently the last bastion of X-band speed radar). Riding and driving around New England highways I have learned that the K band is most often NOT a cop, but is a speed sign or on the Maine Turnpike one of those damn signs that flash the reduced [I]suggested[/I] speed for inclement conditions. These rules change on the 2-lanes as many of the back-road townies ride around with their K-bands on full time, so I pay a little bit of attention there. But when that Ka does its chirpy-chirpy thing (even just once) you'd better get on the binders, 'cause there's a Smokie nearby for sure. And the next time it goes off it very well may be at full blast, indicating you will be getting hassled with a ticket very soon. If you attenuate that weak signal from the scatter of him hitting some other vehicle ahead of you, that may be your only advance warning of the impending performance award. [/QUOTE]
