The display will show the band (X,K/Ka). The
signal strength will first be indicated by the band
being illuminated, then by           signal strength
LEDs which increase in size as you approach the
radar gun. At the same time the frequency of the
beeps will increase. Distinct tones will also be
generated for each band.
