  1. Re: Escort Radar Inc. Files Suit Against Cobra Electronics!

    This is nothing special. Companies do it once in a while to flex muscle so they can use each other's patents with certain fees/agreements. Just look at google buying motorola to have some patents...

    Re: V1 3.891

    I will be very careful on how you handle this. Try to talk to anyone beside our friendly lady at VR. When I got my first 3.872 it had a big smudge on the front lens like someone was having spaghetti...

    They have switchable RDR already.... they call it Ka guard. They just need to add band segmentation to make it "perfect". ;) Well, also, RDD stealth and spec mode display and THEN it will be...

    Re: V1 3.891

    They have added band segmentation and RDR in 3.892:D Just kidding but that would easily make it the top dog again without needing any hardware revision. In straight line tests with RDR option and...

  6. Re: Testing Response times on the V1, RX65(S7) and 8500/X50(S7)

    I think the problem has been threefold.

    1. There is a large disparity in different versions of v1 and now it seems that even the same firmware doesn't have consistent baseline. Of course there is...
  7. Re: Testing Response times on the V1, RX65(S7) and 8500/X50(S7)

    X2. All 3 of my 9500's had better long range than my refurbished S7 8500.[/QUOTE]
    Agreed, and that is why we keep going back to v1 for faster response and range and when the v1 fails, it becomes a...

    If you say so;)

    I never said they are writing bogus citations. You are repeating what I said in my post while disagreeing. WTF:confused:

    Here is a video test of s7 vs M4s and others for those...
  9. Re: Testing Response times on the V1, RX65(S7) and 8500/X50(S7)

    Here is a video that you uploaded a while back. Not sure if it is in your area or not. You tell me how this dude is getting any kind of tracking history.

    I believe we give the leos too much...
  10. Re: Testing Response times on the V1, RX65(S7) and 8500/X50(S7)

    Well, if you think about how the V1 keeps track of multiple bogeys, it makes perfect sense. When it picks up something at a given frequency, it stores a bogey entry in its memory. After it sees...
  11. Re: Testing Response times on the V1, RX65(S7) and 8500/X50(S7)

    Watching the x50 video, there is some kind of parking going on (for the lack of a better word). Although its not as apparent as it is on a v1. One thing that really surprised me was that once the v1...

    Thank you so much Mike for taking the time to do this request video. I know how busy all of us are and it takes a compassionate man with passion for this hobby to do this to educate the masses...

    Parking is a phenomenon where a detector would alert for all the subsequent alerts on a certain frequency after the initial alert without any filtering or verification. Not exactly sure how it is...

    Re: Pretty pissed off, poor 34.7 performance

    Does it still park even when you alternate between k and ka?

    No hurry, if you are keeping the v1, whenever you get time. Its always nice to have multiple samples of the same test. Thanks again for...

    Hi Mike totally off topic, but before you send this one back (and get charged 100 bucks:p) could you do a little q/t test like the one you did with rx 65. Different modes pop off/on and ka guard...

    Aha... now I see your concern. One speed sign is not a definitive test but I understand where you are coming from. It puts a doubt in your mind to the reliability of your detector. But if you are...

    Re: Pretty pissed off, poor 34.7 performance

    I would do a few more tests before I make up my mind. I think the expectations are so high when you get a new v1 that you don't always see the wow factor that most people talk about on these forums. ...

    Most decent detectors are pretty close range wise so no detector is completely going to blow away another decent model. Its the all around performance that makes one better than other. Consistent...
