Does anyone know what radar frequencies the RCMP use across Canada? I imagine it's not uniform throughout, but there can only be a couple of them.

Any input?

Radar frequencies? Eesh. No idea. I would imagine it would be near uniform because most of their equipment is the same. All I can tell you is that MOST rural RCMP cruisers have forward facing moving radar. Specific traffic/highway cruisers have forward and rear facing moving radar.

RCMP also have access to stationary and laser radar.

Why do you ask?

I'm not exactly sure which frequencies they use, but I get a lot of K and Ka band detection on my radar detector when I'm on the highway...

I just drove Edmonton -> Vancouver last week, and the RCMP on the route used both K and Ka band while on the move.
There were also 2 stationary laser traps, and 1 stationary X band trap.

*edit for clarity* Not K and Ka at the same time, but the cars could have either it seems.
