[NLRS] Hot Wheels radar guns

If anyone is still looking for a Hot Wheels radar gun, I was at the 
Vadnais Heights Walmart store at County Road E and I-35E (first exit 
north of I-694 on I-35E) last night and they still have 6 or 7 of these 
on the shelf in the toy department. Still only $20.

Has anyone got a useful project idea based on the radar gun? I expect 
that measuring the speed of cars on my street would keep my interest for 
about 5 minutes. Is the 10GHz RF stage useful for a project? Stable 
enough to be a signal source? Anything to do with it after you bring it 
home? It is cute but I need a better reason to buy it. I've got enough 
cute junk already....

73, Doug.
