Ka falses?

[SETITOFF]

The Cobra is so leaky that it causes itself to false

Jon_Doh, just a quick question, and not to rile you up, but what factual basis do you make this statement?

How would anyone know or be able to tell how much RF leakage is put out from a RD?

[brick]

I can tell you that the 9700 makes my V1 false on K and Ka during its startup sequence, but gets quieter thereafter. It's not the Valentine because I can then turn it off and on and it stays quiet. (I think I had X turned off on the V1, though.) Likewise, the V1 makes the Cobra false on X all the time. (Turned it off when I was testing it.) The Cobra is probably a bit more leaky just because it doesn't have the magnesium case, but it really doesn't seem to be that bad.

99% of the time when my V1 alerts me on this band it is a cop. Yeah I am like you, I wish that this was the case with K band.

I do know if you have Ku enabled (if it comes with that option), you will have an increased number of false Ka

[happya$$]

I have KU enabled but have not really seen an increase in Ka falsing

[marlinspike]

I have Ku enabled too and get no Ka falsing. What I have had is some Ku falsing...only twice and only on one on ramp and one off ramp, both at different exits, and I couldn't repeat the falses.
