The insurance Gestapo wanting to ban radar detectors is nothing new. GEICO tried to refuse policies to people who use them and were ordered to reinstate the policies in two states, I don't remember which. THe radar detector detector picks up the 11.5 Ghz reference signal most detectors put out. MAYBE the new Solo, which is pretty low powered and uses a GaAs FET rather than a Gunn diode may not be detectable by it. Anybody on sci.electronics who would know the answer please share it with us.
