In 1987, FCC approval was given for Radar equipment using a third frequency, Ka. In response to this, BELTRONICS introduced the first Radar detectors capable of detecting X, K and Ka Band signals. In late 1990, FCC approval was given to Wideband Ka: 34.2 GHz to 35.2 GHz. -
Page 20: Interpretation Of Alerts
Safety Warning System The Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights, Inc. (R.A.D.A.R.) conceived and developed the Safety Warning System to warn motorists of potential road hazards by employing Safety Warning System areas such as construction zones, accident sites and detours. These SWS the 24 GHz portion of the K band frequency, and broadcast uniquely coded signals that are detected by your unit. - Page 21 alert coupled with simultaneous identification of the Radar band (X, K or Ka) and signal strength in the Text Display. The number of bar graph segments displayed depends upon the strength of the signal received. As the strength of the Radar signal increases, the audio alert becomes more rapid and the bar graph will display the maximum number of five segments indicating maximum signal strength.
