Radar Detector Problem
My detector is throwing off the K Band warning whenever I get near to Giant. This used to be X, but I turned X off. Now all of a sudden the K Band goes off, and I have tested this at two different Giants (electronic doors send off radar). Anyways K, Ka, and Ka X are used by police. I usually get the Ka X warning when FFX cops are around. Anyone wanna take a shot at this? This never happened before

Re: Radar Detector Problem
It's because the automatic door openers work on the same frequency as K band radar. I refer to my Passport 8500 x50 as an Eckard's detector

Re: Radar Detector Problem
I really wouldnt be saying i had a radar detecot if i lived in va , cops probably look at this site too. Its not worth the fines and trouble to have one if you get caught.

Re: Radar Detector Problem
Thanks for the response vmspoinage.
BUT! Like I said, before the doors were only giving off X Band frequencies, I turned X band off and nothing ever went off for awhile. Recently I go by the Giant/Safeway and the doors are throwing off K band INSTEAD of X now.

The only thing I'm going to say to help you is to put the damn thing on city and slow down around Giant Food Stores since the doors would mask a real deal. There's not that many supermarkets, you can slow down for that 5 second block...

LoWPRoFiLE,
Just give up.... To save you some serious flamage. It looks that most people don't care and arguing with them is only going to get you embarrassed. In answer to your ? though, maybe they changed frequencies that open the door. ie. new door.......
