Default Warning for those Driving through CT with Radar Detectors:

The CT State Police are using K-Band Radar.

I was drving home from Lime Rock on Rte. 8 and came around a turn and my K-Band alert went off on my V1.

Typically I ignore K-Band alerts on CT Highways as the State Police have always used Ka-Band for Radar.

Usually K-Band alerts on CT highways come from those traffic warning signs near construction zones etc.

Well, up ahead was a State Trooper with someone pulled over and he had the externally mounted radar on his cruiser. As I passed, the arrows on my V1 started to point back towards the Trooper so he was definitely the source.

Just a heads up.

Default No problem. I know the Sheriffs in NYS use K-Band too.

But they are only on County Roads there. Not on the Highways as far as I know.
