    Actually, since I upgraded from rev 3.2 to rev 4.5, I only get alerts from maybe 1 out of 10 Cobras, while I used to get about 9 out of 10. If you're running a lower rev than 4.5, I'd suggest sending it in to get it upped.
    I only get POP falses with my X50 (at least 1 a day) and I never got any with my 4.5 RX65.

    Yeah, I was amazed how quiet the RX65 4.5 is in POP. However, I do get a few more K falses from other detectors (easy to spot though, 99% that they're going to be 24.050, 24.069, 24.089, or 24.250.) I pretty much don't worry about anything on K unless it's between 24.100 and 24.200. Haven't seen a real police signal outside that yet on K.

    I see that you're deciding. Which detector do you plan to keep at this point? They're both awesome units, I was just wondering your opinion.

    So far only radar detected is a k band door opener at Alberstsons. I was suprised to pick it up at a about a half a mile. I was thinking I would need to be closer to door openers. Never a cop around when you need one...

    Well, that's a bad one apparently. Most door openers you'll only get from a few hundred feet at least. They can be annoying though. A City K mode is #2 on my wishlist right now (better laser #1).

    Yeah one of our members here a while back with an RX65, had POP always on, never had a POP false, until he went to the States on a trip and had 4 POP falses...

    Coming into town I go down a long hill with a direct line of site right to the entry to the Albertsons so that might have something to do with it. Or perhaps I was picking up another k band that merged into that one. Its a small town but I made the entire circuit with only that alarm. Passed a safeway that is a couple hundred feet off the road because the parking lot is between them and did not get an alarm although they have openers. The detector was on autoscan.
