There's an area on one of the main city highways here where i get random X-band alerts with every RD i've used including the 9500ix when i had it.
When i first tried out my 78se i didn't get that expected alert. Thought it might be broke. So the next time i went by that area, i used my 695 which had always alerted in that area. Bingo, the 695 alerted as usual!
Decided to pack up the 78se to ship it back and use my 695 in the mean time. The next day while passing this same area, the 695 did NOT alert.
Went by that area a few times to be sure. No alerts.
WTF is going on?
Unpacked the 78se and installed it in my vehicle. Purposely went by that area again. The dam thing alerted X-band loud and clear.
That X alert is sometimes there and sometimes not. Can't say why. Don't know if its a flaky door opener, a uWave transmission tower about a mile away operating intermittently, atmospheric conditiones, etc..
Also had similar intermittent K-band alerts with every RDer i've used at a local WallyWorld door opener. Sometimes, they'd alert, sometimes NOT. While other store's door openers always alert 100% of the time just like clock work.
Highway mode is/was enabled in all my RDers all the time meaning there was no 'Filter' variable involved with all this.
Geuss what i'm trying to say, its been my experience door openers and other non-LEO radar sources 'can' be unreliable when evaluating a RDer especially if its got decent filtering features.
