At 1500W you could easily toast the detector.
That's why the state police didn't set up on the highway between
Seattle and the Boeing plant. Too many fried radar guns from the
'off spec' magnetrons that techs would stuff under the hood of
their vehicles, and turn on when the spotted a patrol car.

My uncle used to work at the plant so I believe his story.
