Ticketed speed is higher than radar speed

I was ticketed for allegedly going 59 in a 40 zone today. However, the officer showed me the radar and it read 52. I challenged him on this and he said that it was because he got me at 59 the first time but then had to re-calibrate and I had slowed down to 52 by the second reading.
He told me to choose option 3 and fight it in court. The way he said this almost seemed like he wanted me to read between the lines ("... choose option 3 and we'll fix it in court if you know what I mean"), as if he's implying that the ticket will be dropped if I fight it.
There is no code R, or reduction indicated.
I'm going to first request disclosure. If the notes do indicate 52 instead of 59, then is this grounds for the ticket to be thrown out?
