GAWD, These kids nowadays have it made!
Check out this kewl hotwheels radar gun on sale for $20.00 at Walmart.
I wonder if it's accurate though, I might just pick one up and
dissect it!!
Anyone already get one of these, is it accurate? TIA

So, can you bend it down a few hundred megahertz into the amateur
10GHz band? Without spending more than you would for a Gunnplexer?


Probably not if the tuning element is a DRO.

There's been quite a bit of discussion about the radar gun on the
Microwave mailing list, http://www.valinet.com/mailman/listinfo/microwave
and a bit on http://www.austech.info/showthread.php?t=135840

I ordered two.
