    Default 35.5 false?

    Anyone have any experience with a 35.5 false? Going to work this morning I got a KA alert and spec display was 35.4xx. I was going to a stop sign at the county line. It was a short alert, and had all the characteristics of what is used I/O in this area.

    I sell the Police vehicles to both counties and both use MPH radar (and I've seen nothing else in any of their cars, I know they have 1 lidar unit, but never use it).

    I'm also pretty sure State Patrol uses MPH radar as well. I had a Focus behind me about a mile (and I know her so it wasnt' the souce). I met 3 vehicles at this intersection (none looked even remotely close to an undercover vehicle).

    So I'm nervous now, is there something that can cause a 35.5 false? Is it possible my 9500ci got a 33.8 confused? Or do I have a new threat in the area I need to investigate?

    I don't think your 9500ci is confused on the frequency, as it has never been known for that...

    It was likely a junky detector or some outside anomaly causing such a weird alert... keep an eye out next time you see a state LEO and take a gander at the equipment they have...

    It was a Cobra most likely... I've seen those cause falses in the 35.4-35.5 range as well as the more-common 33.6.

    I posted one such occurrence here: http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...tml#post627779

    Good to hear. If it were a 33.6 I'd have been sure it was a false, I'd just never seen a 35.5 false with it before.

    I'll be much happier if the Cobras start causing more 35.5 falses, the 33.6 falses are a pain living in Iowa since everyone runs 33.8 its hard to tell real or false. Before today I'd never seen a 35.5 false or real.

    Thanks!
