here is a video of my 9500ix vs speed sign K band

hilly road that wasn't str8 and still gave me a good mile and a half about I have to go back and measure to see how far it really is but

That is the crappiest ramp-up I have ever seen.

and why is that ?????

You have never used a Valentine One have you? You got your first alert and 4 seconds later it was a full alert tone for almost 1 minute like you had a radar gun mounted on your hood and pointed at you. Your Escort did its job by detecting well but as a V1 user, I wouldn't have any clue where the source was by just listening to the sound of the alert.

No I never plan to use something that go off for no reason I never said it told me where it was at either the road was hilly and not str8 pretty sure a v1 would of done the same thing look at the road

[<<JAZZY>>]

maybe ur rite V1 is better but its not stealth like Bel or Escort
and where i come from the V1 would get reposed in my first 10 min of driving

Nice car, don't you just love the passing speed once you hit 3rd gear in the Mazdaspeed 3.

I understand that you are feeling defensive because your detector shoots its load too early but don't be a hater when the V1 has a smooth orgasmic alert with a nice gradual rise that ends with a peak that will make you say AHHHHH.

can any one tell me why

That was weird, good question for someone here to answer. Unless of course you think it may have been one of those sneaky I/O speed signs.

so much data, so little information.

Let's start with the behaviour of OTHER detectors. From your collection, I'm SURE you have experimented; establishing more of a base-line. I imagine they reacted similarly.

Careful review of footage shows a Pole Mounted gizmo 30-50ft ahead of you, just as the alert starts. I don't know if they are related, but if not, need to be eliminated

A little [Google]perusing yielded these seemingly related goodies:

SPEED MONITORING WITH INDUCTIVE-LOOP AND OTHER POINT SENSORS
Chapter 3, Traffic Detector Handbook: Third Edition--Volume I, FHWA-HRT-06-108 near the top of the page

it's a fairly old concept; but with more modern sensors, speed thresholds can be determined, and that data can be passed on to other equipment.

speaking of an I/O speed sign:
(pardon the verbage, it's copy/paste)

"Speed Display Sign’s radar works in pulse way, the advantages for pulse way are: low radiancy, low power consumption and anti-radar prevention, as well, radar’s susceptivity can be adjusted according to road and vehicle’s situation."
Radar Speed Display Sign DN-SDR2A-1B Products Donartech
Yes, it's a pitiful translation; but demonstrates that these units do exist.

ha,ha,ha...good one JAZZY

well its raining here so i dont think ill be going after the pics today

[FoolishOne]

So it really might have a loop in the ground!

It may only spew RADAR if you are over the PSL. Starting from like 100 feet before the sign, were you ever over the PSL?

if you want to have it go off at every walmart bank and gas store get a v1 theres a reason V1 is about 20% cheaper then a 9500ix

well i only have a problem with this board
thank god i catch all the LEOs with my red beast

I had a similar problem with a single X band door opener at a local grocery store. The door was erratic (you really had to move to make it open), and the X band door opener would cause my V995 to throw a Self Cal error if I powered it up in the store's parking lot or if my V995 just happened to do a self calibration while anywhere near this door opener. I finally figured out that this particular door opener had flaky power connections, and this door opener frequently caused Ka falses on my V995.

Anyway, time went by and I always made sure to turn off my V995 before turning into this grocery store's parking lot. I even did the same with my newly purchased STi, except the final day before I sent my STi to Bel to be flashed with the 33.8 bugfix. Unbeknown to me, during the very two weeks while my STi was at Bel the grocery store replaced all of their X band door openers with nice little K band door openers. Consider my surprise when I thought that my reflashed STi was dead on X band!

So, as you can see, I strongly suspect that the particular speed sign which MPS is dealing with has a radar antenna which is operating improperly, and that this is why MPS's 9500ci doesn't alert to it until its signal strength is strong enough to saturate the antenna so that the antenna can't see its slight but very rapidly and randomly changing K band frequency.
