    Default X50 Ghosting ( Maybe )

    There is a local Grocery Store that I pass now and again near my home. Every time I pass it, I get Two X bands and One K Alert. The Store does have 2 front entrances located on either side of the building. You know your typical Food Lion, Lowe's Food type of entrance. I do know for a fact that they're 2 motion sensors, 1 over each door. So why am I recieving 3 alerts and on different bands. It's funny though, When I use city mode I only recieve 1 K alert from the store. Any ideas?

    Their security system is probably giving the K. I have to go through an intersection with a Walgreens and 2 convenience/gas stations and I get 2 K's and 3 X's while sitting at the light.

    That's funny because that happen to me today. I was on the interstate and started getting 2 KA bars. I slowed down and started looking around for the LEO. About half a mile later I saw a State Trooper on the side of the road with someone he had pulled and issuing a ticket to. He was using ( Constant On ) KA and as far as I could see only had a rear antenna mounted. As I passed and went down the interstate a bit both bars disappeared at the same time.... I'm thinking if he would have had a front antenna mounted I would be getting at least one bar for a good period of time down the road. I've never really had any issues with Expert mode but now I'm not sure what's going on.

    When you say both antennas are you refering to a Stalker Dual SL Radar Gun? Since that Gun has dual lenses will it show 2 signals?

    Thanks

    What mode ae you using? Expert mode perhaps? Some supermarket stores still use X and some k band auto door openers. That is normal. No need to worry.

    As in both front and rear antennas on the car. One on the back dash and one on the front dash seems to be the typical state trooper load out.
