Hacking the Hot Wheels Radar Gun
It’s amazing how inexpensive technology can be. The new “toy” Mattel Hot Wheels radar guns have, well, a real radar gun inside. As in a 10ghz microwave emitter. Here’s some details (I might add a few more links later, but this should get you started):

got one and opened it up, I am looking to retune and use for an amature radio tranciever.
I soon found it tuned down to the ham band easly,setscrew out 1/3 apx. it is an oscilator and mixer. the output has a chip cap to ground so that would be removed to get a 50 or 100mhz if freq out.
basicly here is a recieve converter for x-band for 17$ on clearance at walmart.
almost a gunplexer, I will further get this coupled to a wave guide and also find out about modulation methods.
