That was weird, good question for someone here to answer. Unless of course you think it may have been one of those sneaky I/O speed signs. :D
What's the frequency of that sign? What's your speed? Is the satellite icon spinning?
I think the sign showed 41 or 46, so about 25 MPH or so if the sign was correct.
not sure about the frequency .... i can go back and check again
GPS thing not sure
but i go by that all time and only get hit when I'm under it :confused:

i know its there so i go extra slow
plus the LEO use that as a trap there
so its not just a useless board unfortunately :(
lets just say i had a run in with them there last year :mad:
and when i say run in i ran for it lol :D

Eddy ???
guys if you want more pics of the board i can go back and take lots
but i want to know why it hits you as you pass it

ahhh
well I'm not sure if thats the case here
but then again i don't know why i cant beat a stupid board with a $1600 unit
Even if it was forward facing, you would have something reflected off the cars after the sign, but if it was 'rear-facing' you would have 'felt' something from the cars in front of you.
Its got to be something to do with that frequency.
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
here is a video of my 9500ix vs speed sign K band
hilly road that wasn't str8 and still gave me a good mile and a half about I have to go back and measure to see how far it really is but

Now that's some nice range..
wtf thats crazy theres a sign like that here in richardson tx too k band ... whats the point if it dont show a speed reading coming to it then bamm what a pos joke sign my ix does the same crap
it shows the speed comming to it like every speed sign I have seen I'm not sure what your saying:confused:Quote:

ill have to do a better vid tomorrow

I don't think this is scary. I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this. It's not like the 9500ci struggles to detect C/O K band.Quote:

Definitely do a run with the 9500ci in tech mode. The K band frequency of the speed sign may be right on the edge of K band's nominal bandwidth. Or the K band gun may have fluctuating voltage going to it due to corroded connections. This could cause its frequency to drift. Needless to say, the 9500ci won't be able to show any high frequency (in time) drift, but that could cause the 9500ci to ignore the erratic K band frequency signal until the signal is so strong that it essentially saturates the antenna and causes an alert.
well i only have a problem with this board :mad:
thank god i catch all the LEOs with my red beast :p
well ill be there like nerds on site with my laptop posting while taking pics :D
i hope we get to the bottom of this board
i will also pack my new DSLR for hi res pics ;)

My bad, I thought this thread has something to do with how Escort products alert abruptly to sources of radar with a non-linear ramp-up so as to make the user dump in their pants.;)Quote:

LMAO Jazzy!
No I never plan to use something that go off for no reason I never said it told me where it was at either the road was hilly and not str8 pretty sure a v1 would of done the same thing look at the roadQuote:

Careful review of footage shows a Pole Mounted gizmo 30-50ft ahead of you, just as the alert starts. I don't know if they are related, but if not, need to be eliminated
A little [Google]perusing yielded these seemingly related goodies:
SPEED MONITORING WITH INDUCTIVE-LOOP AND OTHER POINT SENSORS
Chapter 3, Traffic Detector Handbook: Third Edition--Volume I, FHWA-HRT-06-108 near the top of the page
it's a fairly old concept; but with more modern sensors, speed thresholds can be determined, and that data can be passed on to other equipment.
speaking of an I/O speed sign:
(pardon the verbage, it's copy/paste)
"Speed Display Sign’s radar works in pulse way, the advantages for pulse way are: low radiancy, low power consumption and anti-radar prevention, as well, radar’s susceptivity can be adjusted according to road and vehicle’s situation."
Radar Speed Display Sign DN-SDR2A-1B Products Donartech
Yes, it's a pitiful translation; but demonstrates that these units do exist.

well its raining here so i dont think ill be going after the pics today
So it really might have a loop in the ground!
It may only spew RADAR if you are over the PSL. Starting from like 100 feet before the sign, were you ever over the PSL?
if you want to have it go off at every walmart bank and gas store get a v1 theres a reason V1 is about 20% cheaper then a 9500ix:pQuote:

I finally figured out that this particular door opener had flaky power connections, and this door opener frequently caused Ka falses on my V995.Quote:

Unbeknown to me, during the very two weeks while my STi was at Bel the grocery store replaced all of their X band door openers with nice little K band door openers. Consider my surprise when I thought that my reflashed STi was dead on X band!
So, as you can see, I strongly suspect that the particular speed sign which MPS is dealing with has a radar antenna which is operating improperly, and that this is why MPS's 9500ci doesn't alert to it until its signal strength is strong enough to saturate the antenna so that the antenna can't see its slight but very rapidly and randomly changing K band frequency.
