    I experienced an SWS alert coming from a Hoosier helper in Indiana on I-94 between Illinois and the Michigan state line but that was 2-3 years ago. Too bad it wasn't implemented like it should have been. Bummer.

    I ran an RX65 in Ireland for 2 year and never encountered it (needless to say) someone in Galway, Ireland that was caught with a Radar Detector tried to use safety warning as his defence (RD's illegal) but didn't testify .

    To ass what Mike says re: K-Band Trailers: Its the same over here 4 / 5 have K-Band turned on and only every odd one has your speed displayed. At least it shows the V1 is working fine, it sniffs them out miles away

    I've had it a couple times here at construction sites. One time I got a Warning message when I was already in the construction zone .

    I've seen it work once on an ambulance, but the range wasn't too good. It was less than 200ft.

    Anyone know if there is a published list of locations and agencies using SWS?
