Default Radar Sentry

The police do not use x-band radar, so the current detectors do not
detect X band. Apparently ships use S-band (police) for weather, X-
band for collision.
Cheers, Jim

Are not the new car radar detectors non-directional? I recall some of them
are good for a mile or two... like you said, not that useful, but I suppose
better than nothing.
