Radar Detectors are legal in all states for passenger cars with the exception of Virginia and D.C. 10.5 G is actually the "X" band (shared with amateur radio). 24 G is the "K" band and 36G is the "Ka" band. And as you impress the officer with your knowledge of radio theory, you may be rewarded with "Step out of the car please, and keep your hands where I can see them". "Remember, I'm handcuffing you for your protection!" Just 'sayin' '73 de JIM N2ZZ

A ham I knew would use a well available ramsey kit to "practice" cw when in the road. He said he could tell who had radar detectors by the brake lights ahead of him..lol 73 Lloyd KO4L

When a big rig truck would follow just a few feet back (as they so often do), he would flip on the Gunnplexor which would trigger the radar detector that most of the trucks had and they would back right off. -- 73 ------------------------------------- Jim Walls - K6CCC jim@k6ccc.org Ofc: 818-548-4804 http://members.dslextreme.com/users/k6ccc/ AMSAT Member 32537 - WSWSS Member 395

Back in the 60’s I ran 150 watts mobile on 2 meters in to a Collinear antenna on the roof of my truck. Going to work I always caught up to a guy that was using a cruse control while on the highway. I could get up close to him, key the transmitter and cause his cruse control to floor the accelerator.

The first couple of times it happened I wondered why he all of a sudden took off so fast. After I figured out what was going on I had to play with it a few more times. I bet he had a story to tell his mechanic. Back then not much EMI testing was done on automobiles. Chris

Rule 1: Do not make it obvious you have a scanner in your vehicleUnless you are using a handheld with the stock rubber antenna, you’ll need at least ONE antenna somewhere on your vehicle. Rule 2: Do not look like a porcupine on your car (Multiple Antennas)If you DO have multiple antennas, at least don’t use mag mounts with exposed coax. Nothing says “wanker” more than a car with six antennas, all on mag mounts with the coax all over the place. Rule 4: Do not show up at ANY crime scene and have your scanner blaring -Generally a good idea not to show up at ANY crime scenes, anyway. Rule 5: Do not do ANYTHING that will get you noticed by law enforcement.Good advice. Rule 6: Do not SPOUT OFF anything to a law enforcement officer about theCops LOVE it when you tell them about your “rights”. And don’t forget to remind them who’s paying their salary. Make sure you get their badge numbers. Rule 7: If you are pulled over/stopped.Broken THIS rule many times. About two years ago, was pulled over by California Highway Patrol. Was going 75 (in a 65 posted zone), crossed into a carpool lane but just past the double yellow lines. When he stopped me, he asked what all the radios were for (one scanner, one dual-band (ham) radio, and three handhelds in the glove compartment). Maybe he liked my explanation and that I had my daughter in the car with me, but he returned my license and registration and said, “Just drive a little slower and be more careful.” Oh, I didn’t mention, not only was the scanner ON, but it was locked on that particular area’s channel. Thank you, Officer. Have a nice day, Officer.

When crimes happen, photos are taken. The LAST thing you want is to be photographed at multiple crime scenes because it fast-tracks you on the suspect list. Not only can this result in you being questioned, it interferes with their ability to spot the REAL perp. Joe M.

Wow As describe I Must be a Whacker,,,, NO Just a Scanner Listener over 50 yrs and tracking down idiots who use cheap BO-thng type radios and Interfere with PD/FD Communications and more
Stay Safe and Healthy
Also worked Law Enforcement, Yes I had problems with the Indiana Scanner Law until I made copies of the Law and met with Chiefs of PD and others the copies were passed out and put in the squads and I explained how responsible scanner listeners are their friends and have helped many times being the eyes and the ears of the community ..
Don KA9QJG
Ps ..Please do not mount equipment like I did it is dangerous if you get in wreck have it installed professional I do not drive fast and most of my listening is parked getting signals and directions ..to follow up on investigations of illegal dangerous interference ...I told them to contact the FCC They were told they did not have the money or manpower to have someone set at 3 in the morning waiting on someone who may or may not transmit.. As a scanner listener you hear stuff like this document the time date and if possible record and try to help out ..

OH, NO, those dreaded Mag mounts. I used a couple until I decided to pull the headliner and permanently mount the six antennas on the truck.

Real Men drill holes and do the job right LOL...make sure it’s your vehicle and not the Wife’s they do not understand ,,, But a mounted one done properly will work much better not only for a Scanner but also if you us a Transmitter . And a reminder if you have your expensive scanner antenna on a Vehicle and you use a transmitter you can blow the front end on the scanner ..Especially on the same band or close call.. I have done it a few times.. The biggest problem I have had with the Mag mounts is the coax under the molding and Water coming down into the vehicle .Also it is a pain to remove all at the vehicle wash

I've blown out the front end of a couple scanners by transmitting too close to them. It costs about $80 at Uniden to get it back up and running again.

Me too and the bad thing if its local we listen to It may not be noticed until we get out in a distance

PS . Many yrs ago had a small Scanner business Communications Research if you are old you may of seen My adds in Monitoring Times and Pop Com ..I would have scanners on display and an Officer or Ham would come in and transmit to hear themselves and blew the front end. also if they walked across the carpet static build up would occur and I had metal telescopic ants on them they would also get zapped and blow the front end.. I cured both problems by putting to diodes back to back on the ant input it takes the static and strong RF to ground .. Not easy to do with the new scanners .. Also if you have a scanner with a metal ant inside the house and walk across the carpet to adjust or touch the ant the static discharge can take out the front End ,,always ground your hand to something ..
I watched a guy selling a scanner at a Hamfest AKA Flea Market I guy ask to see it and programmed his Two Way transmit Freq ..keyed it up and said testing 123 of course the Scanner heard him But he just blew the front end , He bought it took it home and it would not receive very well He got on his ham radio and bad mouthed the person he bought the scanner from WOW

If you’re going to run 50 watts or more, yes. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I had to go higher than 5 watts, and I’d still have a couple of fingers left over. At 5 or even 10 watts, probably no damage to your scanners. At 50 watts? Sure, that could be a problem. Probably best to turn the scanner off if you’re going to do that.
