    Agreed, but this thing is going off constantly.

    I am running X off, Pop off. Any suggestions or settings that may help me?

    Thanks.
    did they charge you for it?
    Now that you mentioned it, I'm not upgrading it anytime soon :shock:
    Yes $85, I may sell it and stick with my 3.814.

    I believe he's bothered because the fact that he had a better version before he upgraded. I'd be pissed just because the bogey counter doesn't work as it should rather than K falsing.

    Must be something with his unit, I have the 3.864 and I have to be within 300 yds of a supermarket ect to false on K, and programed I rarely pick them up anymore.

    like dave and many others said

    PROGRAM THE AUTOMUTE

    the cool thing about the automute, it only works in little L and big L mode, so u can switch back to A mode and it disappears.

    i guess i had no choice...

    i live in false alarm city, trust me :idea: (every subway car, every store, so many cars giving me falses from neon brake lights to cruise control systems to infrared highway camera etc)

    I am hoping this automute will a least make some of the false alarms bearable. Thanks for the input.
