re best radar detector valentine re extended ka bands i recently bought a band detector you guys must all think i m nuts right well i did a little research into ka usage in this area and found out that ka is not currently being used in this state as well as surrounding states here s how i found out a cop friend who did spend time nailing speeders doesn t even know what ka is he s heard of k which is what they use here and i explained that ka is used for photo radar etc he then said yeah ka stands for k automatic duuhh he then went on to say that plans were being made for getting laser guns as far as going high tech were concerned but he didn t know too much my year old band whistler was consistently going off at speed traps even the real sneaky ones when i called the escort shop they confirmed that ka is not used here or in surrounding states they did claim that laser was being used a lot here which i was quite skeptical of so in the end instead of spending a lot of money and or waiting months for a state of the art detector i got a low priced high performance band escort incidentally its performance is equal to their top of the line model in x and k band detection i know that escort has been surpassed by other brands lately but i ve never fully relied on a detector and i was convinced that the escorts would be at least quite good which was good enough for me and my wallet eliot
