me a little concerned. I don't seem to pick up most of the usual door opener falses on the way to and from work, and on some of the ones I do get, the alert
stops when I get near the source, it's really strange. The few K band LEO alerts
that I did get, were fine, but the car was approaching with C/O, but I still had a bit
of time to slow down. KA- Band is superb. There is more of that around here. Plenty of time to slow down. I do have an issue with the RSID. It always gives the
frequency of the real deal, but on the false alarms ( what few I've come across),
I have also gotten a frequency display on most of them. In fact this morning, it popped up with a 34.0 on a false. I know it was a false because KA isn't used in the town I live and there was no LEO around. Other than these 2 issues,it seems
to work fine. A brighter display would be a big improvement, since the color changing feature is all but useless in daylight. No comment on laser, haven't had any hits yet. I'm going to keep roadtesting it, although I'm a little worried about the K band. Less falsing is great, but I hope it's not missing the real thing.
If need be, I'll send in for a checkup. Maybe it just needs a little fine tuning. Oh
well, it's still worth it, the KA saves I've had, more than paid for it.
Later.
