A minor spelling error will not invalidate a traffic ticket. You obviously know that the ticket was directed at you, which is what matters. The interests of justice would not be served by excusing people for trivial reasons like this.

You can question the officer about the condition of the radar gun at your court date. You can also subpoena information about it ahead of time.
