I have used a radar detector and a break checker (10 Ghz cw transmitter) for at 10 Ghz QSO (talk to some on on the air). If you have a radio detector with a signal strength meter you can have a AM 10 Ghz receiver. I bought all this for less then 50 dollar not bad. If you would like more information look at http://www.arrl.com. By the way if some one has their a FCC Amateur licence it my be hard to remove there radio transmitter/receiver for 10 Ghz. Fed law normal over rule state law. Just wanted to point out that a radar detector can be used for good uses. By the way here are the some of the frequencies that can be used for Amateur Radio. 2300-2310 MHz 2390-2450 MHz - WAP11 band 2400Mhz - 2483.5Mhz is the North America, Europe, Korea and Extended Japan Band 3300-3500 MHz 5650-5925 MHz 10.0-10.5 GHz - Radio Detector 24.0-24.25 GHz 47.0-47.2 GHz 75.5-81.0 GHz 119.98-120.02 GHz 142-149 GHz 241-250 GHz All above 300 GHz Note: Highest know QSO is at 1200 Ghz.
