Re: What do the different bands mean on a Cobra Radar detector?

x band is used for automatic doors or police helicopters and planes

k band is the older version of ka, but will also go off on automatic doors

ka is mainly what cops use

ku is a brand new one unless you live in a big city you won't get this one

L is laser if this goes off and your speeding just pull over they will catch up

sometimes numbers will correspond with the letters. the higher the number the higher the strength or signal from whatever is hitting you.
