I witness the escort x50 , STi, and what every blinder guy had failed during the S. florida meet. EVALTO was the trigger man and Blinder guy was the driver with a radio between the 2. We only counted scores when a reading occured. V1 was 90% and the others failed at 25%. We also tested how long it takes before the X50 alerted with a full blast of K or KA and it was 2 seconds.
2 seconds.......hmm, do you recall the settings and software version?Quote:

Nevada Issues Contract to MPH Industries for BEE III Radar with Radar detector-defeating POP Technology
The State of Nevada issued a contract to MPH Industries for its BEE III radar on May 4, 2009. In prior contracts with the State, MPH had sold over 600 BEE III radars to police agencies in the State. This contract will allow MPH to do so for at least two more years.
One requirement of the bid was that the State’s radar “should include a mode of operation that allows measuring the speed of targets using a microwave beam that does not set off radar detectors.” This is a good description of MPH’s POP Technology, and in fact, in an addendum, the State stated that “The specifications stipulate … that the ‘POP’ mode is preferred ….”.
MPH President Kevin Willis stated that MPH is proud have the State’s radar contract once again, since the Nevada Highway Patrol is an important customer to MPH. Commenting on the BEE III radar, he stated that “its POP technology is allowing officers to catch the most flagrant speeders. Without POP, these drivers’ radar detectors would alert them in time to slow down before being measured by police.” Mr. Willis also stated that “in several cases, POP technology has been the deciding factor for agencies choosing MPH radars over competing radars.”
Why is POP Technology important? POP allows a radar to measure speeds much more quickly than traditional radars, resulting in the radar detector normally seeing the radar as unrecognizable noise and ignoring it. POP Technology takes away a speeder’s advantage if he has a radar detector.
On their website, (Q&As: Speed--law enforcement), the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety states:
“The only purpose of a radar detector is to avoid speed law enforcement.”
“Use of a radar detector demonstrates an intention to speed that distinguishes users of these devices from drivers who speed occasionally or inadvertently. In a survey of users, more than half admitted to driving faster than they would without their ‘fuzz busters.’”
As they say, “the only purpose of a radar detector is to avoid speed enforcement.” POP Technology is the only tool that allows officers to use radar while not alerting radar detectors, taking the advantage away from detector-using speeders.
POP Technology was invented by MPH in 1997, and has been adapted since. POP Technology is only available on MPH radars. POP Technology is incorporated in many of MPH’s premium radars, including BEE III, Enforcer, Z-25, and Z-35. POP Technology has been discussed in articles appearing in Law Enforcement Technology, Police and Security News, and the Wall Street Journal."
What I'm saying is the $1600 detector misses quick trigger sometimes no big deal right. and as for the arrows well even thou it's a false you know it's a false and you know where it's from so speed on. It's kinda for the radar geeks:geekon: I like it my self, But hey if your the kinda guy that doesn't like it go auto scan and completely miss that k band speed camera. I think we should leave it at that IMO. all goodQuote:

Cheer up though, at least you have direction arrows to show you where your falses are :D
Did you not see DJ's post
and yes it is very good to know where the radar source is coming from:thumb2:
I did see it...what exactly is your point? Did you read CJR's post? I guess in your opinion DJ's experience totally refutes CJR's testing??? What is it that you're saying :confused:
As for the arrows, to each his own. To me they are overrated. I don't care where the source is I simply brake. I guess when you have that many falses you need an arrow to confirm you just passed a 7-11 and not a LEO...????

"Legit" would require a tracking history however. ;):)
Interesting test and results. Thank you for sharing.
:( I wish.Quote:
