It may just be my area and route I travel which is mostly big highways like the GSP (route 9 sometimes), ny 440, I 278 in NY, FDR, west side highway, LIE (sometimes), these are patrolled by highway patrol with newer cars, maybe there are some small townships in NJ still using old cruisers with K and X band. where and how long ago have you seen K and X band coming from A leo?

Several times a week. You cant not turn off K band in NJ. You will get nailed. I am in Jackson and I see a real X Band hit at least 1-2 times a month still on 195/295 but see plenty of K band on the GSP and Turnpike. You need to turn it back on before you get a not so pleasant surprise.

^ - One of our members was shot w/ an LTI TruCam on the GSP last week. Heavy Laser enforcement on the LIE & surrounding Metro area of the Big Apple. Also lotta Red Light & speed cameras are in use,too.

On gsp in my area (exit 90 to 127) I have seen laser only 1-2 in about 3 years. Around the big apple (LIE) I have seen laser more.

On the 195 between howel and GSP I haven"t seen anything other than KA. I"m not saying it"s not out there but after driving my regular route for more than a year with no X or K band I feel comfortable leaving them off (with waze as a backup), Its not worth keeping it on, because of the false alerts they were anyways mostly ignored (for the maybe once a year K band it may not help). In new areas I do sometimes turn them on.
