    Default Random questions. Ohio State Patrol

    So ive only been running a RD for a few months now, started with a soloS2 and bought a v995 when i got tired of batteries dying.

    1. With each of them the K-band traffic sensors around columbus got annoying and since ive never encountered a cop running K, I have disabled K until the time that I upgrade to one with an GPS lockout. Has anyone encountered a K-band cop in this area?

    2. my drive is almost all highway, and about half the times i see cops im not getting alerts. now i do have the RD mounted high so is it most likely that im just not picking the laser?

    3. this one is more random but on occasion i drive by this electronic billboard and it sets off Xband.. then i noticed it has objects that look like cameras on them.. any ideas?

    I would still feel uncomfortable about turning off K band. While Highway Patrol runs X-band/laser almost all of the locals run K band (around Cincinnati anyway). Does that RD not have TSR?

    radar detectors are no cop detectors. The V995 is a fine unit and it will pick up radar like any other "M4" detectors Belscort has. The cops may not have their radar switched on or they are in a speed trap position but are selectively turning on their guns until they can estimate a speeder. For laser it can be hit or miss especially with the Belscort detectors. If you are mounted high there are good chances it will miss closer lidar shots.
