Very nice, and it appeared he was also I/O as well. By the way your X50 looked like it was pointed downward. http://www.radardetector.net/viewtopic.php?t=30634

yea, i actually was getting KA hits before i went over a hill right before that straight away where he was hiding..

i wonder if he was running both front and rear radar?

i will re-level my detector after reading your article, i'll give it a try and see what happens!

yea it looks like it is angled down a bit by 15 or so degrees

i see.. but i still have great range how it is, i'll even the detector out thou and give it a try!

I was impressed with the range. If it’s angled at all (shouldn’t be) it’s better to have the X50 angled down than up.

Wow how much of a distance roughly does that let you know before the popo? Sorry I'm a newb if this is a dumb question.

Detection range depends dramatically on the terrain; most RD's will detect 1/2mi (bad terrain) all the way to 4mi or more (highway clear terrain).

You don’t really have a 5.0 willie, do you?
