    Airports will set off some BelEscort, and Whistler models on laser.

    No such thing as false laser alerts... or search buttons


    Actually, lots of things can set it off... strobe lights, toll booths, airports, huge radar antennas, other cars (e.g. infinities and trailblazers), and electronic noise from your own car.

    Ditto on the "SUN "response.

    The only time I got a false alert on my X50 it was caused by the sun low in the sky.
