Dex, You need to do your homework. "RADAR" as we know it (Police Radar) is not even covered under Part 15. A lot has changed over the years.

I know someone who almost got boxed up by a group of 18 wheelers when they figured out the signal lighting up their radar detectors was coming from a personal vehicle. A lot of these old radars are showing up at hamfest and I doubt very many are being bought for amateur radio projects. For those hams who say their X band radar has been tuned down into the amateur band from 10.525 GHz, I wonder how they send their required ID every 10 minutes. Also I wonder if K band radar at 24.150 GHz fall under FCC Part15 regulations. The power the gunn oscillator puts out may be at Part15 level into an isotropic antenna but what about when connected to a lens antenna? There was a time when each department had to have a FCC license for their radar units. Later their units were covered by their public safety radio license. Perhaps this has changed also. Dex Yahoo!
