On the way home my recently acquired Snooper S5 went mental when I came up behind a tractor - usual fare with flashin light. I backed off and signal got weaker, got close and it got damned strong again. Eventually it turned off and no signal.
Question - wtf on a tractor gives off k band signals ?!

I phoned my mate Ted about this one as he owns a farm in Wiltshire. He reckons that the only thing on a tractor that could possibly affect the K band are 1/ CB radio operating on an illegal frequency, 2/ "Grass box full" indicator lamp in cab (assuming it had the optional grass cutting implement attached).....Blutes
