v1 and sti pick up cobra because it leaks so bad

I thought this was actually a Leo the firt time that I crested this hill and droped into town. Come to find out after some walking and hard eyeballing and looking around it was a cobra radar detector that somebody had left on in their sunfire.

How does the V1 compare to the 8500 X50? I have the x50, and it is awesome....saved my ass so many times

Well the only ticket i've ever gotten in my life was with an escort x-50. My v1 i've never got 1. So take that for what it's worth not saying the x-50 isn't a nice unit running it right now. Just a general observation.

which one do you like between sti and v1? I like v1's arrows but STi claims better shielding

[alpinestarslidar]

As far as it "Actually" having such things that are so much better in sheilding the local ossillator that is "Totally" debateable. Since no sheilding can completely cloak out leakage from a local Ossilator really not from what i've seen and I own a Spectre II R.D.D. and two Vg-2 RDD's. I personaly think they just moved their leakage freq to a Noisy Freq or birdie channel so the officer can't distinguish which it is. Just like your detector can't distinguish between rite aid and legit radar.

Is it undetectable Totally? No not totally. To any RDD out there yes, acording to some, although there is a so called Prototype RDD in use in VA, that "Supposedly" can pick up the STi Driver at 500ft already. WHich isn't that far fetched considering you can pick up a Bel Sti Driver all the way across a room with even a low end analog scanner set to the 460Mhz region. You can see this for yourself with a simple search feature scan and turning the detecotr on and off.

You can even see the scanner then latch onto the detector's electronic leakage, then when you turn it off it will imediatly begin to scan again. Meaning your picking up the Bel STi. Which goes to show, it is still leaking. Just in a different area. Meaning "Could" a RDD be made to nab it?  You bet, and I think it will happen in full production in "DO" time. As a prototype is already out there acording to someone i know that is a engineer at SMS stealth micro systems inc in Aussie.

hey uh triple homicide......stfu if ur such a bitch and im SUREEE u go exactly the speed limit never one mile over.. which i personally got pulled over before 36 in a 35! so fuck off!! radar detectors are made to save ur license because if u get screwed like i did 3 times in 6 months u lose ur liscense ....so screw off

i have a cobra 10 band 360Laser and it goes off when im in front of a shopping mart. after, i passed by a few cops that pulled someone over and it didnt go off. then i passed by a cop on the street and numbers showed up on the display but didnt beep...

how do you set it to detect cops???
