Radar speed guns
woodchips:
I have a Canadian MUNI-QUIP KG-P radar speed gun, and with the lifting of the lockdown people don't seem to be able to read the speed limits any more.
It seems to work, but no instructions. Came with a tuning fork which must be for calibrating the difference frequency for a speed, but how do you use it?
Can any one please give me some instructions, and because this will no doubt go to the police some backup documentation would be very nice. I can't find anything on the web.

"Go to the police"? What for? Do you really expect that an unauthorised, uncalibrated speed camera set up by an amateur will hold up in court?
:palm:

One of the nice things about lockdown was less speeding, even though the roads were clear. I suppose drivers were more careful because they didn't want to end up in a COVID infested hospital.
I don't think he wants to gather evidence which can be used in court, just enough to alert the authorities there's a problem.

In that case, a stopwatch and a documented traveled distance is enough (and probably better than the speed camera, which no one believes anyway).
