2. The police Radar unit is positioned perpendicular to
the road, around a curve, or just over the crest of a
hill, thus, significantly reducing the reception range.
3. The highway traffic between your vehicle and the
police Radar source is heavy, blocking or reflecting
transmitted signals. The presence of several large
trucks between you and the police Radar unit could
also significantly reduce reception.
4. Rain or humid weather conditions can absorb
transmitted signals before they reach your vehicle,
again reducing detection range.
5. The police Radar unit is not properly tuned and is
transmitting outside allocated X, K or Super
Wideband Ka frequency ranges.
Conditions that Affect Laser Alerts
If you feel your unit is not properly alerting to the

high humidity and other weather conditions can
