K band speed sign and 4.2mile range!

[Cloud9]

As I was traveling back to college from my spring break at home I encountered a K band speed sign as I was coming into knoxville, TN. There is a bunch of road work going on on the interstate, so I knew there would be at least one sign up as I came in. I hit the odometer when I got the first signal. The reason I got so much range on the sign was because it was up high near the top of a hill at an exit. When I came to the top of a hill the strength bar increased and as I came to the bottom of a hill the signal decreased. This continued for a whopping 4.2 miles until I reached the sign!! I couldn't believe this. This is the longest range I've gotten on K band ever.

thats what I thought. Them putting it on top of the hill dramatically increased the ability of my V1 to pick it up. It was a pretty straight road, but there was lots of hills in between the source.

Wow! That's darn good. Almost too good! Cloud9, just curious, where is your detector mounted?

[Cloud9]

I have it mounted right below my rearview mirror on my gmc yukon. so it sits up 5.2 feet off the ground.

That's normal K band range for V1 if the road is reasonably straight with a few hills.

Guy's i got a 5.5 mile Ka hit with my old .825. I had it in my tour coach mounted about 12 feet in the air............ Hey im not showing off it's true. The V1 is AMAZING

now thats some high mounting.

Wow cloud9, that's some range. I wouldn't suggest putting it up 12 feet above ground though. I would be real surprised, to see the V1 pick up laser at 12 feet above ground. Show me some pics of that one. Mk
