Default Do any cops in Colorado use K-band or X-band?

I have been using the V1 for a couple months and have never actually seen a cop use either of these. I know X band is really outdated and usually only cops in rural areas would still use this (and certain other states like Ohio). Have any of you run across cops using K band? I just tend to ignore that signal when I get it. I haven't come across any motorcycle cops since I got the V1. Do they use it sometimes?

Default I have X turned off totally on my Escort

I have considered turning off K Band too...as I only see Laser and Ka anymore

But agree K and maybe X are still out there especially in rural areas where they dont have the big budgets for radar gun upgrades.

I would love to turn off X band on the Valentine, but that's the worry.

Default I have the new Escort 9500i and it's sweet!

I don't have to necessarily turn off a certain band and can just lockout the signal at any location that I feel is a false alarm. I can also mark speedtraps and it gives me a 5000ft warning to that location. I have mostly seen Ka and laser in the city...
