The following tests are performed on a straight five mile stretch of roadway located in the desert, about 17 miles south of Wickenburg, AZ.

X Band Testing
(10.475 to 10.575 ghz) is the oldest radar band in use today. It is estimated that only 15% of the law enforcement radar guns still utilize this band.

The New Jersey State Police, several police departments in Ohio and Indiana and the US Park Police are the only agencies Radar Roy knows of that use this band as their preferred radar band of choice.
