i think the 360 detection sucks on the x50..there was a cop drivin infront of me with his radar(ka) on and my detector was goin off..i took a turn, at that point it he was directly behind me and my x50 didnt even go off..

could have been instant-on
no it wasnt it was on for the longest time...then i turned around when i was behind him again it was goin off
that's odd where are you mounting the rd?
right below the rear view mirror..i have tinted windows all around ..but its not metallic..what should the range be like for rear detection..
I'm not sure, I don't personally own an x50, my friend used to and it would always beep once we passed this speed sign trailer and when we got behind it it would still beep until we got to the end of the street. Radar should be bouncing off of speed limit signs and things like that in front of you and coming back to your x50, that's how the '360 degree' protection works.
ok heres what I think is going on...................
Youre behind the guy and he's using constant-on Ka, you pick up the reflections off things in front of HIM, then you turn, YES hes now behind you now BUT the fact is his RADAR is still pointed AWAY from you, now at a 90 degree angle, the chances of catching reflections off that are almost nill, I dont think even the V1 with a rear antenna can do it, IMO that would just defy the laws of physics
Im assuming 2 things now though, ONEthat you turned off (Either left or right, doesnt matter) and that he kept on going, NOT following you because he was in front of you from the get go............. and TWO, that he wasnt stopped at a light and that you made a turn while all parties were still moving, in which case he'd be slightly ahead of the road youd have just turned onto anyways making it that much harder for the X50
^sorry he was at a light ,i turned..by that time the light turned green and he was directly behind me once i turned
but he wasnt traveling in your sirection so I still stick to my analysis, I think since theres nothing to reflest the signal into your resiever that it just cant do it, if he was behind you AND going with you then I think you wouldve gotten somethingOriginally Posted by 03c0upe
