Mike B's Sensitity Testing Part II HERE!

[Veri]

Anybody have any updates on when this test is going to be completed?

It is completed just go to page 2 and scroll down and the graph are at the bottom of the page.

Actually, it is not. The X50 (GOL) is missing.

I never received numbers on that one.

Otherwise - I still have the spreadsheet I used for this. GOL guys / mods: if you'd like to have it for yourself, PM me with your email address.

To all,

I had a long discussion with a guy I know who has alot of experience working with satellite and had experience in the military working with radar. He told me that the noise "floor" for detection on radar runs about -120db, most good radar receivers will be close to this value in detection. He also mentioned that by time a detected target is converted to a digital signal that the sensitivity is close to -110 db. He indicated that weather will certainly affect radar and satellite operation. The greatest affect can come in summer time in places where inversions take place it can bend radar and satellite signal, these are pronounced at greater distances than most radar guns operate. In conclusion he indicated to me a good radar detector should have a sensitivity value between -105 to -110 db. Any more senstive can cause problems unless good dital signal noise algorithums are to eliminate false positives.

Whoever your friend is, he does know his stuff! I agree with his comments.

Yeah looks like the V1 wins hands down again. That's about settles it once and for all. Looks like Mike V has a right to be the so called way he is. He knows the Craig Petersons of this world are out to get him as they can't get with him. Ha I laugh in your face and spit at you feet Peterson

Told me what I already know. For the money the X50 holds its own against any others. Little hard to average with one X50 and then 7 V1s

Boohoo dude it's been done before test after test after test what I've seen is the V1's seem's to win most of the tests most of the time but hey I'm not one to rant about the V1 now
