New Zealand known police radar and laser devices.
Radar detectors are totally legal In New Zealand.(why would we not be allowed to monitor government broadcast this is not Communist China is it?)
No X band
POP not used here.
Laser Jammers have become illegal about two years ago. But parking sensors are not.
Police cars run dual stalker 34.7 GHz radar. ( Front and back antennas) around the town areas they seem to leave the radars beaming. Highway Patrol police are very adept at instant on radar. Speeder beware
Laser I've have only every seen pro laser 2 and 3 in the field not so many down in the South Island Not sure about the north island.
Mobile van run redflex @24.070 GHz @24 degrees across the road, this as a vertically polarised radar beam designed to defeat radar detectors. Word is New Zealand police sold off 24.100 GHz to a third party. Then had the redflex calibrated to 24.070 GHz. I have seen these radars down as low as 24.050 GHz and as high as 24.080 GHz (unreliable) the police have become very savvy with the setup. Around city areas, they seem to be set up around busy shopping centres where K band pollution is at its worst. Generally speaking they are usually in Hyundai vans. Some stick out like dogs balls because they are painted in police colours others are painted any other colour (mufti). On the highway they very easy to spot you just need to keep your eyes peeled.
I have recently been told that 35.5 GHz radar is no longer used in New Zealand.
Bell STI-R just leave band segregation option 5 turned on all the others off. If you have K band B/S you need to do that for the redflex. I do not know the correct number as I do not have that on my old Str-r. I hear the aus/Nz model have had this for a while to help detect the redflex camera. Not available in USA could be wrong thou.
can't comment for redline or other BS radar detectors as the redline I did have was not b/s.
V1 users turn on euro mode if you have 1.85 ONLY in conjunction with connect (recommended)
sweep 1. 34.600 GHz to 37.770 GHz
sweep 2. 34.774 GHz to 34.804 GHz
You may get a couple of false alerts around 33.8 GHz as pop is always on the 1.85 in euro mod connect. Don't worry this is a false and not a cop.
Leave other sweeps to zero.
In the box options.
Set Ka band custom box to 34.600 GHz to 34.800 GHz
Turn on out-of-the box muting.
Turn on in-the-box unmuting.
K band same muting options as Ka. I would recommend setting the muting box from 24.050 GHz to 24.100 GHZ. (Keep Your eyes peeled)

Do not turn on euro mode this will get you a ticket. You may turn on pop for a slightly better K band detection but you will get more false alerts.
Keep Ka guard on. For the experienced V1 user play around with the K band muting Options. You can find them on the v1 web site.
Hope this helps some. Pls feel free to input. As I've been away from the scene for a while.
Cheers
