Ok for the last few days when my RD has been sitting in the car and I turn it on it starts to alert on POP for no reason. I thought it was my security badge setting it off, but I don't think it is. Anyone ever seen this before?

There are a lot of factors that could play into this. Are you near a radar source when you power it up? Do you have a cell phone on when powering up your RD? This usually does not affect the RD but there has been instances where cell phones mess up RD's. Is there someone else around you with a cheapy RD when you power yours up?
All these can be factors in why POP alert is going off when you power up your RD. Also, I suggest shutting POP off on the X65 because it is about worthless anyway
My cell phone does turn on with the RD, but I am not sure if that is causing to to freak out. I am out of the middle of no where, so there is no POP for it to alert on. When I turned POP off it was ok... hmm I might send it in, but I might wait a bit bec it is going to cost me 50$ to have Bel look at it, since I bought it off ebay. Yeah yeah yeah ebay!! hehe.Originally Posted by aaseavey
If you find it okay with POP off and the detection is as good as the V1 just keep POP off. But if the performance is considerably worse then the V1 it probably has a problem
Better plan on spending $85 to have BEL look at your RX. The $50 charge is long gone. Unless of course they recently changed their repair charges.Originally Posted by carboncopy

I was quoted 50 from Bel just a few days ago. Not cheap, but better than 85!Originally Posted by GTO_04
That's good to know. Is it new enough that it would be under warranty if you bought it from an authorized dealer?Originally Posted by carboncopy

Was it a hot sunny day?Originally Posted by carboncopy
I always take my detector down on hot days and I think everyone should.
No man twice it fell off the window bec it was cool outside and the cups didn't stick to the window. Then two more times my little bro was looking at it in the back seat and he dropped it. Otherwise I always take it in the house or inside with me when I am at work. I treat it as good as I can, but the times it fell was just bad luck.Originally Posted by Radarboy12312
