My 3.861 = Barely any drone alerts

You may need to use the right word for it because it can be confusing when you meant auto door sensors or supermarket and etc. instead of drones.

These are drones:

Phillip, I gave you some advise about dealing with actual freeway drones, I hope you did not read it wrong and are using maximum codes to kill all K band in Fresno? :shock:

NO worries Dave. I havnt messed with the K band tones yet.

And leo 68, we have tons of k band drones such as albertsons and pretty much any place with electric doos. I'm not saying I dont get done alerts at all, i'm just saying they are no more frequent than they were on my Bell.

I was expecting the V1 to be alerting like crazy all the time to these drones. Anyway, it doesnt so I'm happy. I also got another ka alert today so i'm now confident that Ka is working well

My V1 3.861 falses less on K and Ka then my older V1 and X band falsing are the same. Have been using the V1 since 1994 and has paid for itself many times over.

I'm sorry Leo68, i actually meant that toward Azonehits. I said the wrong name in my last post. I'm sure hte V1 has gotten better with falses. The thing I can't understand is why it would be less sensitive on K band according to tests. I believe it was Jimbonzz that was playing with them recently and apparently the 3.813 was about 200 feet quicker at detecting K band. Once again, the two runs he made could have just been isloated instances. I'm not saying one way or the other. Each new version had slightly worse performance (although minimal overall) over the two runs.

And yea, x band is a *BEEP*. We don't have it here so I turned it off from almost day one. The falses were insane as to be expected.

Radar detectors can very, even if they are the same revision you can test five 3.813 and get five different results, some being more sensitive then others. If you think there is a problem contact V1 and ask to talk to a technician. I have two Bel RX65 and the older old is much better at detecting K band then the newer version with the M4 Antenna.

I study stats so I'm quite aware of the wide variations that can occur. It's impossible to make accurate statements about the population from so few samples and so few Rd's used in the samples. There are also other variables that come into play.

I used to say falses but according to some those are not falses since its picking up real radar.

Then it appeared drone would be the correct word because it is an actual radar wave being detected, just simply not from a police radar but some other source.

So what is the correct name for this type of "fake" warning from a door opener at a store?

I'm pretty sure if you ask someone that doesn't frequent this board they will call it a false (whether its correct or not) bcause its not actual police radar.

\ According to my older V1 owners manual these aren't false alarms, because it's using a real radar source ( Antenna ). An alert by a crapa radar detector aka Cobra is a false alarm. My police often like to hide where there are strong radar source. I got use to how many appear on my bogey counter and every time there has been a change there has been a police officer running radar. You can call them what ever you want.

People buy radar detectors to alert them to police radar. Anything else is a false alarm, false alert or "false" for short. They are not "false signals" or "false radar" - just false alarms.

Consumers, Manufacturers and other Industry people all use this terminology.

This is exactly what I thought but then I saw this guy in another thread correcting this guy that these types of signals weren't called false alarms or something like that.

To me, anything that isn't legit police radar is a false. Lol, it always had been but I was just trying to use the terminology that I thought was accepted. From now on I'll just use false since it's understood.

If you remember my old sig, I put that I didnt mount my 995 up high because of "too many falsies" This was actually related more False Popping and not door signals or anything.
