Police radar equipment

I'm doing a bit of research into the currently used Stalker DSR - I'm sure some of you will have had it demonstrated to you. Does anyone know when this was introduced into NZ? Thanks.

scroll down to the 'i wasn't speeding thread' - good link in the first post.

How many Chatto Creek 1000 miler's have you done ?? how much "research" do you need ???

Hi Big Dave, I have looked at that thread, but it doesn't give me the answer I need, which is when did the police first begin using them in NZ. I'm thinking it can only have been in the last few years.

I'll be on my best behaviour at this year's Chatto Creek, as you know it's just a pleasant outing and can easily be completed at or below the speed limit. Ask Keith Dore, he's entered on his (I think) Yammy 125.

[Big Dave]

Dunno sorry. I just ask 'how many points is that?'

Not sure if this is what you are after but this taken from the info available for one of Uniden's detectors:

Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a microwave system
for detecting the speed of moving objects by reflected pulses of
high frequency radio waves.

There are three radar bands (microwave frequencies):
X-band (10.49 to 10.56GHz),
K-band (24.04 to 24.26 GHz),
and Ka-band (34.4 GHz to 34.8 GHz).

The X-band was the first used for traffic, followed by the Kband
(Hawk) which is harder to detect.
The Ka-band (Mobile Camera, Eagle, Stalker) was introduced in 1987. The
GPS9000NZ monitors all current radar bands including the
entire Superwide Ka Band.

You stop?????????

Yes I do. And I'm polite and friendly at all times. Cautions 4 - Bookings 3.
Stick yer stupid runners. They only work if you have nothing to lose. :-P

Thanks for that link, cs363, it was the answer I was looking for. After some further correspondence with you-can-probably-guess-who there may be a cautionary tale to post on the subject of you-know-what. Pardon me for being discreet at this time, but all may be revealed in due course.

As for the first checkpoint at the Chatto Creek 1000 Miler, FJRider, who knows what speed others will ride at? All I know is that I'll be tootling along quietly, as always.

I'll be treating it a scenic tour, and plan to finish about 3 hours behind you.

As always indeed... what are you riding this year...??? (BMW's are always quiet... no matter how fast you go...)

About five you reckon... Daybreak...

Glad to help.
Come the time to post on the subject of you-know-what, if you remember please let me know - I'm always interested in this subject

[Racing Dave]

Will do.

FJRider, you'll be amazed (shocked?) to learn I'm entered on my own bike this year! After last year's successful three-stop strategy on the Varedero, I'm having a go at two stops this time. Bladder capacity allowing, of course!
