Unfortunately, that wasn't the question. I'll ask it again: Is the transmission from a radar gun modulated in any way so that the gun can distinguish the signal it sent out from the signal coming back in IN THE SAME BAND? Examples of extraneous noise are: door openers, other police radar guns in the vicinity, radar jammers, and probably the 3K background. -- Jonathan Clark [NAC]!mtung!jhc My walk has become rather more silly lately.
