Radar guns. Lets here what you have.

[O J Simpson]

I have a Ka band Stalker ATR moving. Love the battery handle versatility. It does lack fastest speed window but this gun is lethal. You can pick a car off so far in the distance it is scary. Very fast speed acquisition. 95% of the time IO moving speed acquisition is instant. Applied Concepts did not mess around with this little devil. It is pure evil when it comes to clocking speeders.

Had a few K band Kustom HR-12's in the past, both the newer LCD model & older "gas tube" display models. The older one had limited range & slow acquisition times. The newer one was much improved but still had a slow moving IO acquisition time. IO stationary was very fast.

For slowing down traffic the K band is king by far. Every detectory user reacts to K band. The Ka is a different story. When operated correctly with fast triggered IO most detector users never know someone is taking speeds.

Hello,

I have:

Stalker ATR with Fastest mode

Kustom Golden Eagle Dual Ka - Same lane.
Kustom Hawk K (for sale)

MPH K55 X band

Targetron K (for sale)

Use to own:

Kustom HR-12 (newest model)

West Bend X band moving (one of the first moving) HUGE horn!

Stalker Dual Ka Single (bought of Ebay - found out was "missing" - returned to owner - KSP) Was a great unit, fast and deadly!

Eagle Ka

Decatur HHM X band - Nice unit, great range, slow acquisition time.
Deactur 2 piece X band - bad unit - hated it.

The very old units have slow acquisition time due to the number of 'pulse' they would put out. IF I remember right, the Decatur 'Raygun' series only had a 3 or 4 rate per second. The newer ones are a lot higher pulse rate and are digital. The Nixie tube units are still a good gun to own. Only drawback to say a Decatur HHM, lack of parts, some of the parts are impossible to find or no longer even produced. The hand held moving is ok, NEVER buy the 2 piece unit. What a dog, that was.

Same goes with the older HR-12's...The new currently sold HR-12 is a whole different unit then the original HR12.

I still like the old Decatur series of hand held units. For the most part, they where X band, easy to detect. Fit your hand better due to their nice rounded handles then the Kustom which had a square type handle and a funny lock / unlocking system. The Decatur was a pull the trigger for reading and let go to lock. A lot better then the Kustom setup.

Wished I had kept a copy of a catalog some place use to put out. Had all the older units listed in there. Was nice to read about what features each had and pulse rates etc.

Take care,

Spin

YEAH

Hello,

So Ace, how does it work? range? etc.

My first real radar was the West Bend. Would clock down to 2 mph, was used by railroads to clock trains by the yard managers in 'posted' rail speed limits areas. (due to bad tracks etc)

Take care,

Hello to everyone,

I just picked up a Decatur KN-1 off ePay the other day. Only drawback is it is CO. Or it's not working right. MINT condition, perfect paint etc.

Take care,
