I've got a Rx65 and I seem to get alot of false alarms.
What bands if any can I turn off?

Cheers,

Turn off X band but you will still get heaps of falses from K band

Better to get a few falses than miss one real detection at 40km's over the limit I say...

Bloody petrol stations!

and banks...

and train stations!

and cats eyes

Radar Bands - ACA


The Australian Communications Authority (ACA) is the Commonwealth Government Department that allocates "all" frequencies (bands) for radio transmissions including traffic (police) radar. Laser frequencies are also controlled by the ACA. Information about Australian police radar and laser bands (designated frequencies) can be viewed on the ACA Web Site.



EXTRACT: exact "textual" copy and paste from the ACA Web Site

Traffic Radar (Speed Guns)
Operation in the 24-24.25 GHz Band
The operation of low powered devices in the 24-24.25 GHz band is currently met by the Radiocommunications Class Licence (Low Interference Potential Devices) 2000. An apparatus licence is not required for low powered devices operating in the 24-24.25 GHz frequency band that comply with the requirements of the class licence.

Operation in the 34 GHz Band
Approval has been granted for the operation of traffic radar speed guns in the 34.2-35.2 GHz frequency band by Federal, State and Territory law enforcement agencies. The operation of traffic radar speed guns in this band is authorised by a Radiodetermination licence. The following special condition will be attached to such licences, due to the non-fixed nature of the radar service:
'No interference shall be caused to any radiocommunication station or service and no protection from interference by such stations or services shall be afforded.'

Infrared Devices
Radiocommunication devices that operate in the infrared bands are authorised by the Radiocommunications Class Licence (Infrared Devices). These devices operate in the frequency range 300 - 420 terahertz (THz), with a maximum power of 125 milliwatts. The operation of infrared devices must not cause interference to another radiocommunications device and the infrared device is not afforded protection from other radiocommunications devices. An apparatus licence is not required for infrared devices that comply with the requirements of the class licence.


Detecting Australian Radar and Laser frequencies (A.C.A. approved bands)

K Band 24.05 - 24.25 GHz

Ka Band 34.2 - 35.2 GHz

Laser 904 nm

X Band Not for traffic radar Australia



Removal of radar frequencies may result in less false alerts. The resultant quicker scanning of frequencies (less total bandwidth) may produce earlier detection of "instant-on" mobile and "photo" radar (speed cameras).

Yes, definatly leave K on!!! i repeatedly drive past cop cars and my detector doesnt go off, then yesterday, drove behind one, and had another one later in the day come toward me, both went off in K band and from very decent distances (one was slighly over a crest, i couldnt see the car, it was going off, then finaly came over the crest and there he was...) i leave X off all the time...

Regards,

SiriX

Lately my RX65 has not been going off at cop cars. I dont know if there is a problem with the Radar Detector or if the cops just don't have the radar on.
