But as Ka is becoming more prevalent in NJ as the older K-55 X-band guns get replaced, having that additional information is proving very valuable, indeed!
Once you get used to seeing the different Ka frequencies, you can feel a little naked and exposed when you don't have that additional intel! I believe it's easily as valuable information as [the V1's] directional information [without it].

That is the exact feeling I have also. I couldn't live without the tech display. People have argued with me the radar emitters signals shift around slightly but in practical services tests with the tech display day in and out the emittors stay close enough in tune all the time that it is easy to tell the difference between a police radar and the same old door openers you see every day.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel. In fact I can tell one particular cop from the particular frequncy his radar always puts out..
