Radar Gains New KR-11 Device For S C Speed Enforcement
Cpl. J W Valdario announced at a Rotary Club meeting that the KR-11 radar is the latest tool for the South Carolina Highway Patrol. The compact unit runs on a 12 volt cigarette lighter, works in motion or at rest, and is calibrated with a tuning fork. He noted the KR-11 sits on the dashboard, replaces older MR series models, and that 55 mph is the limit with officers tolerating up to 60 mph for error.
