***Any system prior to 2015 might experience excessive K-band false alerts. This is because the amount of non-police K-Band radar signals has increased dramatically. After 2015, K40’s K-band Filter technology virtually eliminates these false signals. Contact K40 Electronics or a local authorized dealer in your area to inquire about your options.
