I use an Escort Max 360C on a blend mount when I’m going on “long” trips. In Bay Area driving, detectors aren’t terribly useful unless you get out into the burbs. That said, they have saved my bacon before. The CHP uses LIDAR, but KA is much more common in my experience. K band is almost always bunk or those slow down speed signs, so I mostly ignore it. Nevada uses a lot of old crap, so you sometimes will get hit on K there...have heard they even have X/Y in some towns.

Finally, I try to keep it no more than +20 and keep alert for laser hideouts. Most of the time that is not difficult given traffic. Sometimes in an open country highway that turbo 8 just begs you to go faster though.
