Wow... my STi gives me so much advanced warning on Ka that it's almost annoying waiting to see the LEO!

Can you just return it and get a new one? Or better yet -- buy a new one so you don't...

Those results were the best late-night reading ever! Looks like all the high end radar detectors have their relative strengths and weaknesses...

But the STi results on Ka 33.8 were somewhat...

Ah, okay... so if the police radar gun is in tune, it should be shooting off 10.525 frequency waves; therefore, the closer the frequency is to 10.525, the more likely it's a LEO (though out-of-tune...

The police around here use more X-band than any other radar band. The problem is, so do a lot of non-radar devices. Does anyone know the specific frequencies used by police X-band radar? It would...

I have an STi (concealed in a pocket on my visor). One day I got a couple of K-band alerts without a whole lot of warning. I pulled my RD down to have a look at it, and it was in city mode (must've...

Yessssss! I know 'xactly what you mean. I've only seen one speed trap in the 3+ months I've had my RD and, although I see LOTS of LEOs driving around, I'm discovering that 90% of them don't have...

I have my STi inverted, in a pocket on my visor and the sensitivity seems to be good (although it's always been inverted so I don't have anything to compare it with). When I push it forwards, so the...

LOL... yeah I noticed your sig line long list of toys AFTER I posted that :P

haha... but see, you're not addicted - yet.... :P

Those who are happy just knowing the band are what we might perhaps call "users"... content with that *high* of knowing that you defeated a...

hehe... yup... it's killing me not knowing what frequency them x-cows are using! And they're smart... they must've known I turned on tech mode, cuz since then, not a single wide-open-country...

I know I'm not the only one hiding their STi for stealth reasons which makes it difficult/impossible to see the display right away when we get an alert. I want to see what bands I'm picking up.
...

Wait for the latest GOL test results and then decide :)

Thanks for going to such great lengths, guys!!! :D

The results sound very interesting... curiosity is now definitely peaked!

Nice that you were able to get an explanation b/c that would've just been too weird a coincidence with it being a *police* helicopter right at the same time you get an x-band alert! So you must've...

Hehe... sounds like fun :D Radar guns aren't illegal are they? If a cop pulls you over tell him you're researching the flight & landing speeds of birds around highways ;)

If you want the jack on the other side, could you not invert the display and turn your RD upside down? That's what I do with my STi (although maybe that option's not available on yours?).

I don't think I got one of these with my STi from Roy, but I'd say for the price, it's probably worth it given all the posts here about RD's acting up over time.

Hey, congratulations!!! I'll be curious to see how you like it compared to the others... and if you ever drive up to Canada, you'll be all set :D

Hmm... well they must in NS because there is no doubt that this was a genuine Ka alert. I was on HWY 101 heading into Windsor (NS, not Ont!) around noon today and I got the voice alert ("Ka band")...

Glad I didn't order one... got a genuine Ka alert today (first ever)! So the STi is working just fine :D

"Geez... what on earth is THAT sound?!?! Well whaddaya know - it's Ka band!!!" Got my first Ka band (ever - had it over 2 mos) on my STi today {insert sigh of relief}! RCMP cruiser driving towards...

I'm think your theory is a good one and it should be fairly easy to test (it would be great if that was it -- looking forward to solving the mystery!). Are there specific areas along the tracks...

I'll give it a try.

FWIW. something that makes no sense based on what I've been reading here, but I swear I got improved range when I turned POP on. :?

I'll turn SWS on and see what...

I do believe that there are women out there who are both cute AND smart :P

Strange, isn't it?! The weird thing in my case is that it's not all the time... just every few days. Do those towers turn on and off? Or can other factors affect their range perhaps? I'm much...
