Default Re: Just Recieved Whistler Pro 78 Radar Detector

Well, I've had my Pro 78 for 10 days and I haven't seen a speed trap. I have tested it on a couple of K band speed signs and on the Office Depot door opener but thats all. However, I do have a couple of interesting observations that I would like to ask you more knowledgeable members about.

1. I was driving along one day when all of a sudden and an alarm sounds (I don't know which one) and the screen on the RD flashes CAUTION. On the same day, I received another alarm and the RD flashed PULSE. What does these mean? I didn't see any LOE and there was no voice warning in either case.

2. Twice, while driving, the RD has alarmed with no voice warning, the screen indicates PWR OFF, and the unit cycles off then on again. What causes this? I checked but there are no identifiable loose connections in the power cable.

3. On Hwy 34, here in Loveland, CO, there is a stretch of 1-2 miles where, for the last week, the unit will ramp up on Ka band to maximum heading both east and west, but again, I can't see any LOE. There is construction going on and in the vicinity of the maximum signal there is a lighted sign in the median warning of the construction ahead....this is not a speed indicator sign, it is much bigger than those.

I would appreciate it if you could clarify for me what is going on in the examples cited above.
