Does this radar detector have 360 coverage?

A shopper on Mar 8, 2022

Thanks for your question. The specifications, features, and reviews of the K40 Platinum 100 do not include any information regarding 360 degree sensitivity. The Kicker K40 Platinum 360 Dual Receiver Radar Detector includes a separate rear mounted receiver for 360 degrees of coverage.

Can this detect a drone?

A shopper on Mar 5, 2022

Thanks for your question. A drone radar frequency would have to be within the operating frequencies of the K40 for it to be detected.

How far can see this radar?

A shopper on Feb 25, 2022

Thanks for your question. Many factors determine the warning time and distance, including the strength of the radar signal, direction and location of the radar gun, and where the patrol officer is sitting. An exact measurement of warning time and distance is not specified.
