ka range on my v1 excellent, question on laser

[alky350]

coming back to phoenix from california on the 10. before getting to riverside i noticed laser went off for a second or two. are those false alarms? i had that happen a couple of times, laser alert going off for a couple of seconds and then gone. ka was awesome, a couple of miles on one. 3 miles on another. anyone have some answers on the laser alerts? instant on?

Laser is instant on. The laser falses can come from Infinity cruise control. Some vehicles have neon HMSL (brake lights) that could also set it off. Looks like you have a good Ka performer, like mine!

I'm newer to running the V1, but have been using escorts for quite some time. The V1 seems to false alot more on laser than other detectors, but there is no comparison when it comes to laser detection. The price you pay for that is falsing from a number of things, like: Trailblazer tail lights, neon signs, adaptive cruise control (like found on some Infinitys). Also, I noticed my jammer falses on school bus strobe lights sometimes. If you were being hit with a real laser alert, I am pretty sure that you would have seen a stationary officer intently aiming the LIDAR gun at traffic.

how would you know if its a real laser threat from leo? longer than 2-3 secs?

If it is real, you will see the LEO, because laser requires line-of-sight to work (if he can see you, you can see him). Now if it's dark and he's well hidden behind a bridge abutment or an on ramp shooting from the rear, you may not be able to see him, but the arrows should aid here.

with a rabbit, how far back do you usually stay????

[radarguyus]

Depends on how fast you're going Usually a dozen car lengths or so. If your rabbit is targeted with laser, you may or may not get an alert on your rd.
