Mine falses less then my Beltronics detecter, actually I get very few falses. Does your have the updated software installed?

I like the arrows, I like knowing where to look for the cop. Plus, it's useful after the threat passes as you can watch them, and make sure they disappear. But, when I drive my other car with my Beltronics, I honestly don't seem to miss it...

One thing, at least my me is 99% of my falses in the city are K band. I usually will lock them out if bad, as K band based radar is old school and hardly used anymore. I couldn't tell you when I got a K band radar hit last...probably been over a decade. For me it's 10% X, and 90% Ka.
