The notes on the right hand side are great for finding out fun little tidbits like what lidar guns are in use in that area, what types of police cars are used, what frequencies of Ka (33.8? 34.7? 35.5?) are in use, and so on. The green box for TSR will tell you whether or not K band traffic sensors are in use on the highway and if you should enable TSR/TMF to filter those sensors out. Out here in Washington State, the highway is monitored by the Washington State Patrol and so if you look at the top of the chart, you’ll see information about the State Police that’s worth checking out in addition to what’s covered for the individual cities and counties. Obviously you’ll want to take a look at the cities and counties that you’ll be driving through.

Here’s a few tips and tricks on how to use it and what to look for. Very useful stuff!Ĭlick on your state and you’ll be able to drill down and see what’s in use in different cities and counties.
#SIDE NET RADAR FREQUENCY UPDATE#
If there’s any information missing or out of date, you can go in and fill in the gaps and update the database accordingly. You can go in and check down what’s in use in every state as well as what’s in use in different cities and counties. On the Radar Detector Forum, people are keeping track of what radar and laser guns are being used across the entire country and compiling all the information into a user generated database called the Radar Detector Forum Geographical Survey (RDFGS) that we can all access. Read this post to find out which Ka Segments are needed in your area if you’re using Ka Band segmentation. Read the RDFGS to find out what radar bands and laser guns are used in your area. How to Find Out What’s In Use In Your Area If you’re wondering what’s in use in your area as well as in other areas that you’ll be driving to, here’s the best way I’ve found to see what’s in use in what areas. Additionally, some places in the country use newer and more sophisticated lidar guns with anti-jamming technology. For example, in some areas K band is in use while in other areas it’s not at all and if you turn K band off in your detector, you can get rid of all the false alerts that you’d otherwise have to rely on filters to deal with. In different parts of the country they use different radar guns and laser guns.
