I hear what you are saying there, but I don't think that argument is going fly. There are a lot of 'consumer' buyers than the enthusiasts, those consumers wouldn't understand the fundamental...

Radar facing away isn't as easy to detect, the radar signal has to bounce back from something and reach the detector.

Here a quick test of my V1 against 3 read-world speed signs:...

There is also the added protection to LEO from a vehicle in slow/fast lane side-swiping LEO or hitting LEO with mirror (especially at freeway speeds) - one would have to hit the patrol car first.

I second the visor clip method. I thought of the mount to suspend it below the mirror, but it's too visible. I prefer the visor clip method. Yes, it is high and not within normal sightline - that's...

I witnessed the vertically mounted LPP heads on a bimmer, we were all quite surprised on how well it did.

Having said that, it is important that the heads have are not recessed back too far - they...

When driving it's good to focus on the road. Here's how to make a low-cost camera mount that you can attach your camera to - depending on your vehicle seat design this approach may or may not work...

Look at the label on the bottom, the FCC ID will either end in S7 or M4. To put in simply, the M4 is the newer hardware design.

As for firmware revision, follow the 'reset to factory defaults' in...

Approx. 35MPH. Added note #10 with this information.

Graphs updated. While other testing results typically displays raw numbers (and their graphs), the information detector buyers/users are...

Here's some data on my testing of the 955 against an older 995 and V1.

Here's a comparison test of 995, 955 & V1 (tested after tune up from VR). The signs were K-band along a stretch of road along the bank of a lake (plenty of curves, trees). It's comparable to a real...

I think mine falsed from the brake lights of the Honda. Or maybe it's just a coincidence that the brakes and alert happened at the same time.

Yup, the audio ramp up on the Bel's isn't quite where it should be. My hypothesis is that they reserve their 'full blast' for IO encounters. Still, the audio ramp up can be improved. I've found that...

Very nice test!

What freq was the Ka?

King County Sheriffs use K (mostly CO).
Dunno about Pierce County as I don't drive much there.
Be careful if you drive into Redmond, they ambush with selective IO (Ka 35.5) and laser.

Interesting. So they'll let plenty of speeders go untouched until an RD use comes along. Hmm, maybe we should encourage the wider adoption of 'more leaky' detectors for use as rabbits?

I got a cheap digital camcorder for in-car videos, the mount is really inexpensive and can see the speedometer and road when mounted...

Thanks for the effort though, MetalFlame.

After looking at the remote mute switch threads/schematics, I see that I can use the LPP's mute switch (which isn't doing anything right now in my...

I have a bluetooth adapter that can send audio wirelessly to a bluetooth headset. I'd like to use this option when the family shouldn't be disturbed with alerts from the V1 and LPP to the bluetooth...

one of the best installs I've ever seen. way to go puzzled.

Totally agree there DG. Over in the Honda Pilot forum, quoting entire posts is against the rules and enforced. Quoting just the relevant...

For a PLIII, you could even go with an LED jammer - ZR3/Blinder/etc - for cheap. But it's better to invest in one of the diode jammers and have the peace of mind in case you drive into an area with...

Here is my install. The key requirments/restrictions were:
- detector should be easily removeable to go with me in either car
- displays/controls within view while driving (eyes on the road)
- no...

My S7 v4.5 has AutoScan, it works fairly well. If you have that on yours, you can try testing that mode too.


Watch out for the dreaded Bel audio ramp up. It's definitely something Bel needs to...

Ummm, the expected someone walked off with the $10 for not being received appropriately. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Gives credence to the saying: "a fool and his money are soon parted" :wink: :D :D

I believe STARS is on a digital trunking system. You'll have to get a digital trunking scanner like the Pro-96 (or any of the Uniden/Cobra equivalents).

He just said "Mike ...". AFAIK, there are plenty of "Mike's" on this planet.
Maybe Mike's referring to the Mike on the stealth skunkworks project. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sad story for sure of...
