Straight up!!!! rx65 USA or INTL????

I am really starting to wonder... what is making the difference?

Is it the fact it is scanning that single frequency (or frequencies in the case of accusweep)...

OR is it lowering the threshold in which it starts to warn (above background noise)?

Its not like the detector switching into narrowband mode and suddenly the horn antenna inside mutates and becomes more sensitive or something, so it had to be something being done in software alone.

The reason I say this, is because if you think about back to the SML tests and their (somewhat flawed) "response time" tests, the radars were detecting in 0.XX seconds. If thats the case, I really do NOT think it is that the scanning is faster for 1 frequency... and i am guessing it is ONLY that the detector lowers the warning threshold (ie. even a slight signal causes it to alert).

And if THAT is the case, why do the detector manufactures not just keep those known radar frequencies on their most sensitive (like those 3 for USA, the 2 for photo radar), and STILL sweep the rest of the Ka band?

Also i was gonna ask you running threat mode, reg or tec???

Thanks again

I run Tech mode 99% of the time any more. It's really the only one that seems useful any more. I really hate the RX65 multi threat display, and I can tell signal strength by audio alerts. It's really easy to spot Cobra falses on it after a while. I see a lot of them at the extreme edges of the K band (24.050, 24.069, and 24.250). The only real K alerts I have seen were between 24.129 and 24.160, so I just look for anything between 24.100 and 24.200 to be safe. I also seem to get 33.700 or 33.713 from junk detectors quite a lot. Plus, I like to keep tabs on what the officers are using around here, see how their equipment is staying in calibration.
