The Detector Detectors could be picking up the Local Oscilator generated
by the radar detector.  This signal is mixed with the incoming radar
signal, which has the effect of creating a signal that is the sum of
the two signals, and a signal that is the difference of the two signals.

This LO signal would have to be pretty close to the X or K band.

From what I remember about taking apart some detectors, is that most of them
are poorly shielded/filtered.  This leavs a lot of room
for the LO emmissions to get out.
