Many RADAR guns use frequencies listed officially with the FCC as 
"shared" frequencies with amateur (HAM) radio.  It occurs to me, 
since the purpose of HAM radio is to encourage the advancement
of the art and science of radio, mounting my home-made anti-
collision device on the dash fits the stated purpose of HAM radio.

Since I would have no way of knowing when the police might choose
to "share" this frequency, and I have a very good driving record
eliminating the excuse of "probable cause", I doubt their radar
would be able to see anything through the up to 1000 watts I'm 
allowed to use.  (A couple might be enough.)

Just a thought.
