I have been having my RX65 for a month, and so far I have been only getting 100% fause signal. Last night I went out to find cops, and I saw 4 patrol police cars, but my RX65 just didn't go off at all. Is mine broken? or can someone provide some good ways to test the functionbility of detectors? Thanks
you may have passed by 4 LEO's but they probably didint have their radar on. it was probably a get 2gether and eating donuts, drinking coffe, n filling out paperwork. your rx65 is prob working..you just havent experienced real threats. one thing you could do is run by a nearest cvs or sumthin and see if ur RD gets K band from a good distance.
o n btw...where did you get your rx65 may i ask?
1) It's a radar detector not a cop detector
2) Auto door signals are not false alerts. This equipment operates legitimately on the K and X band frequencys and the RD quite appropriately alerts to the signal.
I just hit one SPEEDTRAP!, and I was trying to test out the detector without proper mounting (not driving my car, my car is in dealership for repair). I put the detector on the dash, and it just won't go off!! The traffic was pretty jammed up too, don't understand the reason for that speedtrap. The cop was handhelding a gun with two lenses, so was the cop using LASER? or RADAR? Can the detector pick up the signal if I just place it on the dash?
Got it from a ebay seller for USD$200, but kind of regreted for not getting it from RadarRoy. Because the seller pill off the serial number tag, I can't get any warranty.Quote:

Right there is your answer--does it pick up ANYTHING as when you go by stores etc...?Quote:

ehhh yeh ebay.. if you can return it or sell it..i would highly recommend that. im not going to go thru the whole storry of why to avoid ebay and the whole shady stuff but yeh..sell it or return it and buy from roy.
It does pick up X band when I drive near by the same hospital, and same band at same location all the time.Quote:

Hopefully you can contact the guy and get your money back? I sure would not trust it to protect you any
As you power up the RD hold the program and the sens button down it will flash you what version the RD is. Should be something like A2 m8 or A3 . Does it do that?
You neverf know what the Leos are doing so dont be alarmed if it doenst alert. Do you get K warnings at all from stores.
I do get a lot of K warnings from stores, and X warning from hospital. It is v.6.1Quote:

my conclusion..nothing is wrong w. your RD im pretty sure.
Thanks everyone for the helpful information. I am going on to a total 4000km+ trip within 2 days, and I will post up the updates on my RX65+Laser shield+Veil.
Thanks again!
Have a safe trip and hopefully it works :wink:
