    Hi from SF Bay Area

    Hi Radar & Laser forum! Long time reader, first time poster. I've been running a V1 for the past 10 years or so, and just switched over to the AL Priority. Loving it so far, but now trying to come up with a solution to cut down on the K-band falsing. Cheers!

    Welcome! From what I have garnered from other SF locals is the CHP doesn't run K band. Only reports of K band usage have been local LEO's in San Mateo and Sacramento. The recommendation I received is if you mostly drive spirited on the highway, you can opt to disable K band. Just passing along what I read.

    If you've been running K band for 10 years...have you ever seen a legit K band hit in the SF Bay Area on the freeways?

    Welcome to the forum... K Band Pollution is a pain in the ass. You can try using TSR and it will cut out quite a bit of the falses on K Band.

    Welcome fellow SF Bay Area guy. Yep, just nuke that K band setting. You are more likely to win the lottery than get a legit K band hit off a LEO in California.
    Go ahead, make my day.

    I'm driving to Mariposa/Yosemite this weekend. Do I need to worry about K band along any of those state highways in Mariposa/Merced counties?
