Anyone been getting a lot of Ku alerts lately? I was reading that they have been using it in europe for a while. I still get Ka alerts but the Ku I guess is under the K band. I don't understand how it all works but def been picking it up. And I have been Lidar'd regularly in pinole on 80.

Another heads-up: Along W/B I-80 thru Vallejo, CHP like to "hide out" on the right shoulder past the Hunter Hill rest area (think big hill w/ view of Vallejo where Discovery Kingdom/Marine World is on the right). They tuck in the shade of the Hwy 37 overcrossing, esp. in the mid-morning when the shadow is in a perfect spot to help them nab folks who can't help but haul it down the declining freeway.
Safe & Happy Motoring.

Ya I noticed a chp chillin on the shoulder by the rest stop onramp in vallejo today at about 6pm. They've been hitting I-80 through vallejo/fairfield/suisun pretty hard these past couple days. Good thing I was in the xterra and not the subie lol.

On E/B I-80 as you come into Vallejo, be on the lookout for the moto-chippie on the righthand shoulder just past the crest of the Hunter Hill rest area. I spotted the sneaky-snake as I was coming up the hill in the other direction. I have to admit it's a damn good spot for him since drivers will just be coming out of the pocket fog that's in the area.
Hopefully, my li'l heads-up will have him shaking his fists saying, "Curses! Foiled again!"
Safe & Happy Motoring!

About a half hr ago on W/B I-80 on the downgrade below the Hunter Hill rest area in Vallejo, a black & white CHP was tucked into a spot on the right shoulder under the Hwy-37 crossover. I was in the right lane when he jumped into his car as I passed him. He was in my lane as he closed in on his target... a black Suburban that had passed me on the left as we were coming down the hill. Pulled him over at the Redwood Pkwy exit.
Be wary! Happy & safe motoring!
