Page 30: Are Detectors Legal
SPEED MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES ARE DETECTORS LEGAL? In Most States YES. Laser-Radar detectors are legal in every state (except Virginia and Washington, D.C., which have local regulations restricting the use of radar receivers in any vehicle) when used in automobiles or light trucks (under 10,000 lbs.). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a regulation, effective January 1994 which prohibits radar and laser detector use in vehicles over 10,000 lbs. -
Page 31: Laser Tips
• The receiving range of your laser detector will not be the same as a radar detector. Laser guns are most often used at short range. Whistler Laser-Radar detectors receive all current laser guns which operate at a laser wavelength of 905 +/- 50nm. -
Page 32: Other Speed Detection Systems
SPEED MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES Radar Facts - Continued Currently, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) permits operation of traffic radar guns at X Band (10.500 - 10.550 GHz), K Band (24.050 - 24.250 GHz), and Ka Band (33.400 - 36.000 GHz). NOTE: Your radar detector is designed to alarm if an officer is transmitting on any one of the above radar bands. - Page 33 SPEED MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES NOTE: The newest tool Police have to detect radar detectors is called Spectre. Spectre can detect the majority of undetectable (VG-2) laser/radar detectors on the market. It is the responsibility of the individual radar detector user to know and understand the laws in your area regarding the legality of the use of radar detectors.
