The insurance Gestapo wanting to ban radar detectors is nothing new.  GEICO
tried to refuse policies to people who use them and were ordered to 
reinstate the policies in two states, I don't remember which.  THe radar
detector detector picks up the 11.5 Ghz reference signal most detectors
put out.  MAYBE the new Solo, which is pretty low powered and uses
a GaAs FET rather than a Gunn diode may not be detectable by it.  Anybody
on sci.electronics who would know the answer please share it with us.
