When you see a chippy holding a gun its usually laser. They are either parked sideways shooting out the side window, or they are standing outside their car. I only get radar (Ka) hits when they're in motion, or sitting in their car parked parallel to traffic. In these situations they are using their builtin radar equipment.

All that to say, I don't think an alert would have made a difference for you in this situation, if you had been going fast enough to earn a ticket. The alert would likely only inform you that your speed had been read.
