    @Holla: So cops in California don't use POP? What is RDR? Also, there's an option under "Stalker" for Optimal, Max, or off. Would you select Optimal rather than max?

    And to confirm, segmenting my KA band to 2/5/8 will cover all the necessary KA bands in the bay area or California?
    @AirMoore: I'll try downloading all my settings again and upload it. When I had my old Bel RX65 radar detector, I would get some type of KA false signal. But with this STiR+ receiver with the ALG hookup, I get zero. Drove around 60 miles around the freeway and intown and not a single peep. I hope it's really working....
    For California, you only need band 5. CHP uses 34.7 ONLY. A few sheriffs use 35.5 (we've seen it up in the Tahoe area for example) and some local cops use K band. I think you'd do best just switching everything off except for band 5, and just not speeding on city streets. You'll get a much quieter detector that way. Sometimes I'll drive 300 miles without picking up any Ka.

    If heading up to Tahoe on I-80, switch on band 8 (35.5), otherwise you don't really need it.
