Not necessarily. I have no information one way or the other, but I
would be very surprised if the Lacrosse doesn't use spread spectrum.

Nevertheless, it ought to be possible to determine (by listening) the
approximate frequency bands used by this radar, because it must be operating
with substantial effective radiated power. Another project for all you
amateur sleuths out there...
