Queensland
has gone "Ka" in a big way.
The radar is the Decatur Genesis Select
operating at 35.1 GHz in the Australian
"Wide-Ka" band. There will be
167 units by early 2005. The final total
may be 250. Kustom Silver Eagles are operating
on 34.9 GHz in the "Ka" band
in two states and one territory, according
to the distributor. There are some Stalker-Dual
mobiles in the ACT too. New Ka-band Radars
can be introduced in the future in any
or all states. That proves what has been
said since the mid-nineties. Ka is not
just one frequency as with X and K bands.
There are several frequencies within the
Australian "wide" Ka band. You
need to detect "all" - not just
one. The "piecemeal" approach
will not work anymore.
Thinking of buying a modified X &
K Band Radar Detector with "so-called"
stealth credentials? No "X"
band? - good. No "Ka" band -
a grand and a half's worth of scrap metal,
if it's claimed to be for "Australian"
conditions!!! It's obsolete! Has been
a "has-been" for some time!
Watch out for the "champs" of
hypocrisy retailing this stuff!!! [Don't
agree lads? Tell us where "you"
believe "Ka" is used! Or would
you prefer to say where it is "not"
used? Same diff (sic) boofheads!!!] Don't
want to get stuck with a "part-time"
detector? Already bought one from them
and it's still in warranty? Ask to have
all "Ka" frequencies currently
used in Oz added for free. Better still,
demand a refund.
If this is wrong, they should show us
the detector or publish specifications.
Glad to print a retraction based on facts.
However, they are warned - if the detector
exists (and can be bought) it will be
tested against the best high-tech
"digital" detectors on Ka. The
prediction? Tarted up 80's technology
(analogue - harmonic detection techniques)
just won't cut it against state-of-the-art
"digital" designs. You don't
need scientific qualifications to discern
the pros and cons of various radar detectors
- just knowledge, experience and a desire
to find the truth. And the truth is -
"Ka-band radar is here and more is
coming". Soon, even the most cunning
"radar-rats" will not be able
to hide from the truth!!! |
