    Default Uniden Detectors

    Why EXACTLY were they discontinued? And which ones leaked like police radar?

    They leaked a lot and were discontinued around 2002/2003 after the FCC established new guidelines on maximum leakage in the VSAT (11.7GHz to 12.2GHz) band.

    They pulled out of the market around 2002, when the FCC started restricting emissions in the VSAT band from 11.7 GHz to 12.2 GHz. As far as which ones "leak like police radar" I'm sure that's just a figure of speech, although I'm sure they caused a lot of falses in general.

    And Cobras barely pass that right?

    Cobra had to make some changes to their products but got FCC approval. I'm sure cobras barely meet the new guidelines considering how polluting they still are.

    Mike B has previously said, I believe, the platform is similar to 9-band Cobras where they park on 1/2(K band) for ~100ms and resemble K POP? Maybe I'm hallucinating.

    I had a uniden............. ops:

    It was horrible in detecting Ka band, and poor on K and X it was a POS.

    There's sometimes a car parked down the block from me which always has an old Uniden on the windshield. I can pick it up from just over a block away with the V1. He/she leaves it plugged in to the cig outlet all of the time so it's always on.
