He is just renting a room. Judging by his accent he is a laborer there and has a room. That is just my guess. Looking at his other videos I wonder why he would just have all his stuff in one smallish room unless his wife is a whip wielding sugar mommaQuote:

I didn't want this to be a ninja-revision, so I decided to quote my previous response to WRX STiMULi. :)Quote:

PUHLEASE...:rolleyes:
Although far from perfect itself (since it offers a band/number combo, but no true discrimination between "how many of which"), the V1 at least has the capability to display "more." And while that may not necessarily be a tactical advantage (particularly in highly reflective surroundings), to an extent, it can potentially offer more user protection.
For example, I've seen more than my share of distanced speed traps, with multiple enforcement vehicles individually running RADAR, that can easily defeat the 2x Ka and 2x K-band resolution. Similarly, with the potential of signal splitting and merging, such restricted display capability also presents some worry.
Additionally, given the use of K-band door-openers and such, in many metro areas, the segmentation of the K-band threat display to only 2 alert signals also carries distinct risk, to those of us who live in an area where K-band enforcement, in combination with the above, is a typical and daily presentation (as with the above, I also count myself in this population - Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, Warrensville Heights, and Highland Hills serve as perfect demonstration of this concern, for those who live in my area and would care to confirm, for themselves).
Certainly, there are advantages to the Escort system (i.e. the "Multiple Signals Detected" voice alerts of the higher-end units, as well as the unique-signal delineation and visual alert strength ramping), but I find that defending any one setup, versus the other, is a moot point, particularly as neither is even remotely close to perfection.
I think that Escort could have gone one step above-and-beyond, and have squashed many of our current complaints of its ExpertMeter display parameters by allowing the unique end-user to fully customize the segmentation.
For me, for example, locally, I'd dedicate all but two segments to K-band - and on the highway, all but one to X-band. Yet others who live in Ka-band only areas may decide to run all but two bands Ka, thus allowing maximal resolution of that priority concern, in their area.

I wanted to be sure that you understood exactly how and why I feel the way that I do, so that if I was missing something, my fellow Subaru brother, you could help me reason through it! :)
I was not in a position at the time to elaborate my feeling on your post. I had my reasons that I will give other information on that later,Quote:

Before long there will be patents on one corner smiles,
Anyway I would be very happy if Escort made the effort to give us as much information as possible.
It would be nice if they allowed an auxillary display that would tell us what freqs have been locked out, at what coordinates and what other signals are being heard at that location,
Escort could do better. Many time they do just good enough for us to buy the next products and we do.
For the bucks we spend there could be better logic and more info. But there will be and we will buy it.
^ Agreed on all counts.
If we could only get open-source support on these products, like what we're used to with our Subarus. :):)
