I have seen much less unit-to-unit variation in V1s than in my BELs. And other friends' and family members V1s perform the same as mine.

I would like the v1 if it didn't false like crazy, if the bogey counter & the arrows actually worked like they should and also if the tones were a little better!

Rev. 5: Used to false twice a week or so on POP, usually when passing Crapras or Unidungs. I turned POP off because, well, we don't have it in Arizona.

My X50 is REV 5. and false POPS on crapolas detectors so much I POP'd off.

Care to share with us a theory after gathering this info, Sethy?

REV 5 very few PoP FALSE alerts and here in my town mostly everyone has the cheaper C :) :)

Just last month, I picked up another x50 and it did not false on POP at all. I am curous to know if escort fixed their popping problem w/o going public about it. I am hoping the escort owners will join with me and reset their x50 & get the firmware version + post it here...

I have only had mine for 2 days, but I have already had 2 POP falses. I never had 1 with my RX65...

X50 Rev 5. I would have to vote yes to false POP alarms. There are areas on the highway that I drive daily that have K-Band door openers for Hotel lobby doors. Sometimes I receive a K alert, othertimes it's POP. I also have set up CW K-Band and Ka-Band sources and have observed that while the vehicle is moving at the fringe of the detection range, I will receive a false POP alert quite frequently to this CW signal.
