    Just wait until you pass another car that has a Cobra RD...

    So in the belscorts you get a "Pop" message alert

    What about on the V1? What alert to we get from leaky detectors like cobra? Ka?

    My experience is mainly with the x50 and rx65. I don't use the V1 as my daily driver so It would not seem to false as much on the open road. ie long trips

    No joke, A-Town. POP was a great idea but they released detectors that had it WAY too fast. For all the times you hit the brakes to the falses. you could have paid the same on a ticket :wink:

    happend to me just today...i was traveling at about 80mph in a 65 on my way across town when i got a false pop. scared the absolue crap out of me. i usually dont push 75 but i was running a little late. i move over from the center lane into the right lane and set the cruise at like 68ish, thinking there was probably a cop up ahead. but not more than a few secones later, i see this grand prix come flying up in the left lane, look over an sure enough, a POS DETECTOR WAS HANGING IN THE WINDOW. that made me quite angry
