I can't believe it...

Driving through Kenmore the other morning (while taking my son to school), my X50 started alerting me to 34.7 Ghz (I think the actual displayed frequency was 34.803???). I was on a residential side street, about 2 blocks away from a main drag. I looked behind me - nothing. I looked in front of me - again, nothing. When I came to a stop sign, I looked off to the side, and what did I see? One of Kenmore's finest running a speed trap. Here's the kicker: he was about 20-30 ft. from the corner, and partially parked behind a fence!

Nice. There's nothing like an experience like that to keep your confidence in a detector.

I had an experience delivering a pizza down eagle landing in North Charleston.

I come into the main section, and get a ka warning.. I slow down, look around, nothing...

I keep going and the ka stops alerting, now on my way back I take a left down a road, and then another left, and there he is, sitting behind a house, next to a fence on the side of the road...

Ah..... Stalker. Well, your in luck the X50 eats 34.7 like a monster.
I have 35.5 in my area and the X50 has a little trouble with it.

35.5 sucks. It seems like that is the most common in my area :cry: Yesterday I got a .3 mile warning in medium traffic on 35.5. It sucked because I saw his lights before I got the warning. At first I was like, that is HORRIBLE range! Then I thought about it rationally. We were in medium-heavy traffic and he was in my lane traveling my direction with his front radar on. So, I was getting scatter at .3 mile distance - I was a little less and a little more after thinking about it.

It can be painful but I give Ka a 2 mile window of observation.

Yeah, my range on KA 35.5 is bad as well. I get on average less than
half a mile. Not sure why the X50 has so much trouble on this particular frequency......

ya the 35.5 can be very hard for your rd to detect this freq the 35.5 is no joke
