Almost two years ago, a rumor started floating around that a radar gun manufacturer may be producing a radar gun that operates using the Ku radar band. There are already speed measurement devices that use the Ku band, but they are rare and are used predominately in a few European countries. Cobra and Whistler reacted to this rumor by adding Ku band detection to their 2006 detectors.
Ku is NOT coming to the US!
I have a Bel Professional Series RX65 Radar Detector; I drive in Europe, one hour to work and one hour back. The RX65 is very sensitive, but there’s one type of radar that it can’t see, I don’t know what is called, but its two large boxes, ones a camera with a flash and the other box is the detecting unit. I passed one just the other day and I was disappointed in my Bel Professional Series RX65 Radar Detector, that’s the reason I got, because it was supposes to work in Europe and it doesn’t. can anyone tell me what kind of radar this is? ….. thanks
Ku is in the USA, how do I know because I was stopped in Mississippi by a State Trooper. I have a Bel 965 and the trooper told me that the radar detector was no good for the radar they are beginning to test and use, Ku band.
Where at in Mississippi? We want to contact the HP office in the area.
We thought you were full of it. Ku is NOT in use in the US.
