    Default I seriously almost threw it out the window (Redline)!!!

    So my Redline has been great so far. I actually got 2 real saves today. Both on I-95 southbound by SC HWY Patrol...they were both running instant on KA....on one i got my first alert about 2.5 miles away VERY VERY happy with that

    But here is the problem...I just got a Garmin 1450LMT GPS. I really like it and love the 5" screen. I noticed that my Redline would alert EVERY minute...a low X-Band alert....continusouly!!!! I turned off my GPS and it quit...Has anyone every heard of this? A GPS causing a X-band false CONTINUSOULY?!?! for about 30min....SO i finally stopped to piss and I turned X-band off SHe is now quiet

    Yup, I've heard of that happening quite a bit actually; although, with my Tomtom, I never had any issues with falses.

    My laptop caused weak X-band falses if I held it too close to my V1

    Funny story! X-band's a pain in the ass. I got more falses on a 9500 with x-band so I just turned it off.

    Your title makes me wonder if anyone on the forum has actually thrown a RD out the window...

    Old Palm Treo with a stylus used to do the same. I guess it's been since 2006 since I've had X band enabled. Many phones since.

    This is the first although I have X band off I turn it on when I went through Oregon and my Garmin was not setting it off. I have on of the old Garmin that I had for about four years now so I guess that I better not get a new one.

    I threw a JVC head unit out of my window one time, never a radar detector though.

    here is a lil vid of two X-band falses due to GPS - both within one minute of each other...and look @ the big rig - he was my rabbit He liked to run between 85 and 90mph...and he had a brand new truck
    (I dont believe he was with a company because at those speeds he would probably be fired) lol
