    Default video: is my V1 ghosting?

    hey guys, so i'm kinda paranoid about my V1 and ghosting lol. this video was taken at a fairly busy intersection with some shops that have the K band door sensors. i usually pick up one at this intersection, but there are times when i am stopped and it'll pick up more K-band. i just started rolling the tiniest bit when my V1 picked up more bogeys.

    i'm pretty certain these weren't cops. could it be other cars driving by causing the signal to bounce off their cars and back to my V1?

    i have a 3.863, which i got about 9 months ago. my V1's mounted high if that helps.

    that's nothing, i get 9 at a grocery store. it is more of reflections than anything else. nothing to worry about.

    same here in a busy shopping centre today and every time i go there and i also have a 3.863 about a year old now.

    i have also noticed that sometimes if im stopped in traffic near a k-band door opener, the V1 will count an additional bogey if a car passes by and it will go away again as soon as it is gone which would support the reflections theory.

    Seems to be typical, like others said bouncing signals. V1 is very hard to run by shopping centers or city type environments.

    that's not ghosting. Ghosting happens when you have a cop or a speed sign targeting you with K or KA and you get multiple boggies or K with Ka blips.

    I 've never gotten anything more than 3 or 4 at the most at shopping centers.
