Yes, whether POP ON vs OFF improves or degrades IO reactivity depends from detector to detector. There's been enough tests floating around that you should be able to find one for your detector. The...

You are confusing IO with POP. The statements you mentioned are true for 67ms K/Ka band POP (e.g. cannot be used for enforcement due to inaccuracy of reading).
However, 16ms K band POP has...
It's too bad that such a well-conceived idea doesn't work as well in practice. The gf needs to get an RD for her car soon - I want to get get something less chatty than the V1. I thought the 9500ix...
I don't remember if it was Roy's site that had it, but there's a big nice list of "speeding ticket myths/facts", and one of the myths was "The cop couldn't show my speed on his radar gun, so I'm off...
Also, laser hits tend to be fairly easy to identify, since the officer needs line of sight to you. Look along the sides of the road and at overpasses. Possibly look at any bridges you just passed. If...
Yep -- exactly what he said. Unfiltered detection of radar is no longer considered acceptable due to the amount of falsing. LIDAR detection is likely to go through the same change soon due to the...
Well, considering that the adaptive cruise control systems in many cars basically is same-lane moving LIDAR, I don't think it's out of the question for LIDAR to take over radar. The real question is,...
That looks like a visible laser beam... not really gonna affect laser detectors.
And frankly I think the age of "beep if you see blinking 904nm light" is ending, just like how the age of "beep if...
Note that the "mlid" (mailing list ID) numbers are different. They are different lists.
All bands, including laser.
Probably because to identify the laser gun, you'll probably need to directly receive the LIDAR beam, much like how you mount laser jammers where you expect to be shot. But in that case, detection is...
About 4 feet apart or so. My V1 is mounted right up against my headliner towards the driver's side, and the Redline was mounted low and a bit more towards the passenger side. Obviously the difference...
Yeah, indeed. And in Northern California, Infiniti SUVs are getting more and more prevalence, to the point that I no longer take my V1's laser alerts seriously. The K band radar based systems aren't...
I've got Savvy installed in a 2011 Audi A4, and it works as intended with the OBD port. Power-on/shut-off all work as normally, as does the vehicle's automatic poweroff/load-shed power management...
For my weekend trip from Cupertino to San Diego, I bought an Escort Redline to try out. Considering that the V1 is still by far my favorite detector, and that I'm contemplating getting a STI-R Plus...
Yeah... if the V1 could have a 12 inch paraboloid receiver dish and cops could restrict their radar usage to the middle of the desert on a 50-foot tower, I'd be happy.
Sunnyvale PD was using IO K-band locally too from handheld units. Their cruisers don't have any on-dash radar units. Around Cupertino, the motorcycle cops carry both LIDAR and radar (Stalker) on them...
I'll answer this directly:
Savvy is nice. It might seem retardedly primitive compared to advanced GPS filtering techniques used by Escort's detectors, but you'd be surprised at how useful it is. I...
ESP (Extended Serial Protocol)
The "ESP Technical Specification" document is up, and wow, Valentine Research has definitely been busy. The protocol design is incredible -- You can get info on the...
Yeah, I've seen tickets for failure to dim stemming from doing the exact same thing. Be lucky that the cop didn't give you a ticket...
honestly I wouldn't do it because you're talking about close to $2000 of equipment for just detection, and then you'll probably need laser protection too. By that time the financial justification for...
Not true in all areas. Around here there's several highways covered with traffic drones for 10+ miles stretches, and even 8 dots 30-second and rear K-band automute barely contains it. And at that...
Yes, by far in my road trips I've seen more radar usage than laser usage. A radar detector will still be better than nothing. Note also that CA is pretty heavily littered by K band noise from...
Could be FM-CW or some other form of non-police radar that's filtered out by detectors to reduce falsing. I've personally yet to see a sign like that, but I've heard they exist.
V1 Dave is spot on. You *CAN* configure V1 mute to suppress a single shot from those traffic sensors, but such settings don't work against a bunch of traffic sensors within a short stretch (which I...
