ka false warning.

Is it possible to get a false alarm on the KA band. Yesterday I got a warning on 34.56 with my Redline detector. That puts it in segment 4.

Can a gun be that far out of tune?

Whoops wrong forum but someone might know.

With a good view in both directions, either he was on a side street or it might have been a cheap leaky detector.

As I want to run with only ka band segments 2, 5, and 8 turned on, the only segments police radar should be on, I hope it wasn't a lawman.

34.5 is a common false alert. No need to be concerned.
