Re: Lasers?

Aren't all radar devices essentially lasers? so, following this (and skipping things like the 2.4 Ghz band, to avoid interference) could you use a radar rangefinder? After all, the first laser was in the microwave band!

Additional benefit- the MPE should be higher for lower frequency devices, allowing for a higher wattage.

Of course, this is probably all wrong...
