Rear sensor?

**cdrayton08** · 04-03-2006, 07:22 PM

Where is the rear radar sensor on the X50? Is it that little thing on top? If so if i mount it under my review isnt the rearview in the way of getting any signal from behind?

That is only for laser, the RD will pickup radar from the rear from the front antenna becuase the radar will bounce back from objects in front of you. The V1 obviously has the advantage because it has a seperate rear horn to pickup radar.

And yes if anything is blocking the laser sensor that is not good. Worry about the front picking up laser, picking up laser is hard enough even with a clear view in front.

Laser alert = you got a ticket, and if you dont get a ticket, just count your lucky stars, it is like russian rullett, escape one, you still have another bullet waiting for you sometime.

InstantOn is another = instant ticket. RD is are not fool proof.

A person with no RD stands a better chance than a idiot that does not know how to use his RD and does not know its limitations.

Welcome to the forum! :wink:

Thanks guys.

Couple more questions.... How good is this RD on country roads?
And also what if a cop decieds not to turn on his radar untill he is ontop of you. It would work great at night. Is this kinda like instant on?

Sorry bout the questions...just new to the RD environment

This basically is instant-on.

No problem asking questions! You can just sit back and read the threads in no time you will pick up on all the info. I know there seems like an awfull lot of information just hang with it, learning curve being on a forum like this is fast. :wink:

It is a great detector on 'country roads', along with any of the Big 3

ok one more question....say i was on an empty road with nobody in front or behind me and nothing but trees all around. a car is behind me a good 1/4 mile and its a cop but i cant tell from the rear view. Now what if he radars me? Is this detector going to pick this up? Could he even do this?

Yes, it is called moving radar, he can get your speed, and it will be instantaneous. You will get the alert with any of the top RD. The V1 will alert the strongest becasue of the rear antenna, but if your all alone, your what we call in the biz TOAST.
