THIS IS FROM MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.
And yes Cobras DO leak to themselves. My wife has a higher end model Cobra that was given to her as a gift, it will alert to itself sometimes, and if she turns it on while my RD is running anywhere near her vehicle my RD goes nuts. So yes, it's not just the lower end models that leak, the mid-upper ones leak too and once again, this has been proven time and time again not just by me but by others.
I'm not picking a fight with you or bashing Cobras, if your RD works for you, IT WORKS FOR YOU. Like I said, I don't care what RD you use, if you're happy with it so be it. Just so you know I have yet to get a false alert look over and see a V1, a Bel/Escort or a Whistler other than the few I saw that were older models. It's ALWAYS been a Cobra that's set my RD off on Ka band recently even "top of the line" models I've seen set my RD off.
Yes ALL RDs leak except for certain ones made not to, but it's how they leak and what frequency and harmonics that matter and Cobra's just tend to always hit the Ka harmonic when leaking. But hey, that's just my personal observations and once again need I state this: I AM NOT BASHING COBRA RDs. IF THEY WORK FOR YOU AND YOU ARE HAPPY, THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. I AM SIMPLY STATING MY OWN FACTS THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY OBSERVED AND CAN REPORT.
