v940 vs v995 vs refurb 8500

Ka band is almost always a LEO.

right, but i heard that cheap cobra units are responsible for some ka falses, correct?


I am pleased with the unit so far, the only thing i might recommend would be turning off auto mute. I was driving yesterday and got a weak ka reading in traffic. After 1 or 2 blips, it quiets down, until i see a police car drive by, and look to my 8500 showing full strength ka. Just a thought...

I don't know how often my 8500 picks up falses from other detectors but my v955 does very frequently. BTW, if you leave automute off you can still mute very easily and conveniently when you need to if you are using a smart cord.
