    Default Odd K band false?

    I was driving around today with the V1 and it kept getting odd falses off of 3 different tractors, in 3 different fields, each was on Kband and each would be between 3-5 in strength? Has this ever happened to anyone else and know what could be causing this... I am sure it was from the tractors.

    Yep. I have read numerous times that this is done for safety reasons since the tractors are on and near the road a lot.

    thats so fing halarious that you posted that!!!!

    i was driving in heavy heavy downpours one day up to new rochelle aka new rock city on i95N and i started getting this crazy K band alert, i mean it lit up just like a REAL leo would. i can usually tell if its a train or a door opener by the way it ramps up, but this one ramped up just like the leo's i ran into in NJ w/ K-band.

    anyhow when i passed by the source i saw a tractor :?: :?: :?:
    i was like WTF is this thing?? on my way back from new rock i got the same alert going in the other direction. it was the weirdest thing. it was so rainy i'm not 100% sure if it was a tractor but it was one of them big looking construction vehicles on a field from what i could make out at the time. i've experienced the same thing, i wonder what is going on with those things???

    Do you think it could be a safety warning device? There are a lot of accidents involving farm equipment?
