    Wow, they are still around. I always thought it would be cool if SWS did take off and get used wide spread. I'm just facinated with the technology.
    Outside Independence Hall when the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

    I too ran into these in OH on my recent trek north. They were the construction signs but didn't have anything displayed. Confirmed that it was them after 5 or so of the same signs....Strange, btw those damn drones were horrible!

    Trust me I know!! K band muting is awesome though and works great for me. NormSky really helped me out getting it set up.......very glad I had the ability to mute those damn things

    Around here I'm surprised when I see one of those things that isn't spewing K-band for 2 miles. I've had fantasies of knocking out the radar antenna with a sledgehammer.

    I didn't even think to switch my settings up on the fly. Of course after 13 hours of straight driving I was more concerned about getting out of OH! haha

    I've ran into quite a few of these signs here in Okla. City and they all spew K band. I would be interested to know more about how you have your V1 setup to mute these annoyances lol

    I run mine in "l" mode only in areas where I know there are speed sensors. I didn't change anything except the following: 7 down, b & C down, d up which is 15 second mute. I also set E & F down to stay muted at 4 and 6 lights. This works well for me. With this particular sign I do get a audio alert as well, not sure why.....maybe a different frequency or maybe because it is identified as a new bogey. Maybe someone here could explain it to better
