X band = supermarkets in FL. I have never encounted X band used by a cop. K and Ka, and Lasers around Orlando and Ocala.

i want to turn off my X band because i am tired of those annoying X band false alerts

KA in California by the CHP.
K band for the speed detecting signs that the CHP puts up but doesn't take photos (photo speed tickets not legal in Cali I think)
X band has been nothing but false alarms.

I have my X band turned off.

I mostly get KA and K band with cops around LA.

In Ky. it's mostly Ka but still about 10% X-band.

LOL...In Jax, the city and county are the same. The police frequently use X band and they tend to do it right before you reach one of those grocery stores...Tricky b@st@rds...

I encounter mostly K and Ka bands wherever I go, but when I drive through illinois, State troopers there use K and X bands...

In JAX, they use Ka and I encounter Laser a couple of times, with a good radar detector all this problems get solved I have a very good Whistler and the false alarms are almost none existent.

Almost all police departments stopped using X band radars along time ago. Not that there are some poor departments that can't afford to move into the 21st century and still use them. I don't know of any in california that are still using X band anymore. Most in Cali are using Ka or LIDAR (the correct name for laser). A few still use K but even that is becoming rare.

Oh yeah, for those in southern California, i saw a CHP motorcycle cop and he had a hand held LIDAR and the Ka radar on his motorcycle. So those in LA area becareful, LIDER is target selective and very hard to fight in court.

I think Jersey is the only area that cops use Xband. Hell, almost half the cops I detect here are xband.

But as for any other state, I've heard that is rarely, if ever, used.

i havent ever seen a cop use X... except one time when i was driving through Utah... cause they have no funding

UW RL

on which detector?

Severin

I haven't picked up a cop on x-band in CT for over 10 years.

I have my detector on reduced X-Band sensitivity in City mode. I did encounter a K-Band CHP vehicle. It was an older model cop car. All the new Crown Vics seems to have Ka Radar. Haven't seen an Lidar in CA so far but that doesn't mean they aren't around.
