    Re: passport 8500 X50 vs 8500 nonX50

    Odd, my father-in-law reported that with his X50 a month or so ago. I had owned one many years ago when they first came out, and I don't recall that problem. Does anyone know what the cause may be?
  3. Re: Remote radar detector installation location?

    While I can see your predicament, the higher, the better as far as range goes.

    Re: Radar bands used in MA and NH

    FWIW, I haven't encountered X band in years, anywhere in the northeast. Most towns seem to run K or Ka, and LIDAR on the highways. The town I worked for was a member of a "LEC" in MA and there was a...

    Re: NAME this Police Radar Unit

    Where is the radar unit? All I see is a blurry screenshot from a video, with what appears to be an MDT display and a Federal Signal brand light/siren controller above it.

    Re: Hi from MA

    Welcome!

    While I no longer live in MA, a lot of my family does, and there is not much that I miss!
  7. Re: Just a thought. Cadillac once had some nifty technology out there. Lidar potenti

    In order for that to work, I believe the wavelength of the LIDAR would have to be within the visual spectrum of wavelengths that the NVD is capable of viewing.

    Re: Refurb/returned

    My two latest V1s were both bought under that offer. Neither one has ever had an issue. I have had one of them for about a year, and the other for about two years.

    Re: CB Receiving Range

    There are no easy answers to most of your questions. All of these things have to do with multiple factors, mostly centered around the antenna.

    Some things to consider:

  15. Re: Hidden scanner and cb antennas through soft top?

    Do you want a single antenna for receiving? Or one for the scanner, and one for the CB?

    Just for receiving, I would make a dipole and hide it in the roll bar. Heck, you could probably do a true...

    If length is an issue, you can never beat the Antenna Specialist MON series for low band performance. They are out of production but easy to find on eBay or radio sites. I think the only difference...

    Re: Thoughts on mounting location.

    The thing with mounting remotely would still be the issue of signal loss in a long run of mic cord.

    Come to think about it, somewhere, possibly RadioReference, a person went through the trouble...

    Actually, it wouldn't be hard at all, they are just two pots, usually mounted on a small board directly behind the faceplate, or on little metal divots.

    There are a few radios on the market with all of the controls in a slightly larger-than-normal mic, with the final RF deck mounted remotely.

    Some radios also have channel up/down buttons on the...

    Do you mean on-glass adhesive, or a BNC jack on a little u-shaped thing that mounts on the edge of the glass?

    On-glass ones are a compromise at best. I would stay away from them.
