    Tell me this. I'm thinking the pulse(s) I got today had to have been false. Or could I get a instant on (full strength KA) from a LEO on the other side of the hill? If my detector was getting radar bounced off another car, could it still be at full strength?
    if you are asking if you would be picking up other radar detectors at full bars the answer is most likely a no... the highest i have got is like a 4 or 5. you may be surprised at the distance you will get full bars for before you see the cop

    "PULSE" is just a discription, a word.

    Does not matter if your detector alerts to x k ka, pulse, or pop, they all can be "false".

    You can also be in a middle of nowhere and you could get a "false".

    Pulse as well POP are discriptive words meaning that the detector alerted to recieveing a signal characteristic of Pulse or POP.

    Pulse... is a relatively short burst in a brief amount of time, characteristic of IO, in this case the manufacture terms it Pulse.

    POP... is a very short/weak signal that is of the duration of 66 ms or faster 16 ms.

    Thanks for the info. I'm thinking now it wasn't a false because I definitely have seen them out here before. They used to sit on the end of my street doing either radar or laser, that was before I got my detector so I don't know. I know they make a mint off giving tickets to people flying down the hill. They just must have gotten more clever now and decided to hide!
