In all of my years in and traveling through all areas of Ohio (since 1997), I've never seen this:

Ohio State Highway Police - K-band.

The Trooper was blasting through the lanes, trying to catch-up to his customer.

I believe that the Trooper engaged with I/O K-band. The alert I received (face-on, across a 6-lane divided highway) was too short for it to have been anything other, even given the limited sightlines.

During pursuit and when he initiated the take-down, he kept his K-band blaring on C/O, as an added traffic-warning/safety measure. I was able to receive reflections from this signal, after having passed him, for well over a half-mile.

This means I've seen the Holy-Trinity of RADAR for Ohio's State Highway Patrol - Ka, K, and X, in both I/O and C/O.

And, of course, LIDAR.
