I might add that in order to have good quality test results, you need to have some material to cover the antenna to limit the range so you can have a controlled test result. As the previous poster stated, it's just like a TV antenna without the TV set. ![]() As for just the antenna and powering it up, you will never get what you wanted. They have done it so many times and you should have a good idea how your radar detector performs by just looking at the data. Just look up GOL and check their various tests results. But you don't need to have a Ka radar system. ![]() To test Ka, you really need to have the 3 frequencies to get a good idea. Example, your detector may be good picking up 34.7 like the stalker radar but may fall short in sensitivity range with 35.5 like the Decatur and Kustom radar units. Depending on how good your radar detector is, each frequency has different characteristics as far as sensitivity to your radar detector. No one antenna will produce all frequencies. Would it be possible to buy one of these and power it up in order to transmit only or is there some huge reason this will not work that I am just not aware of? Any thoughts would be great, if it is just a dumb idea that would be good information as well lol.Unlike K or X band, Ka band used in the US has 3 main frequencies. I have noticed that you can purchase a used ka band radar antenna for a dash mount unit on ebay fairly cheap sometimes. I dont have the money to spend on a legit ka band radar unit at the moment, but it would be nice to be able to test ka sensitivity, range, etc.
