Laser detection unfreaking real!!!

[davekr]

On Xmas my wife and I were heading north on an access road that runs paralell with I55. This road is about 1/4 mile east of the interstate seperated by a fence and gulley. All of the sudden I get a laser alert. I look ahead nothing for miles. It goes off again.....my wife says what's causing that? I am like I have no clue?

About a mile down the road there is an ISP shooing a car on the interstate!!! yes I know I still need a jammer but come on that's fing amazing!!!

I think that Dave uses a V1. You have to admit that the V1 with its built-in condensing lens for the forward IR detector diode is unreal at picking up on-axis laser.

Well V1 is the best when detecting laser.

Third brake lights -- strobed to make them appear really bright yet also to prevent them from overheating. Nicely sets off some RD laser circuitry. The neon lights at Sonic? My old Whistler used to produce a laser alert for the neon lights at my local Mexican restaurant. Valentine should be filtering this out. Maybe they are but are clipping the filtering if the signal appears to be really strong. The sun flickering through bare tree branches in winter can make any RD false on laser. My 9500i had a thoroughly enjoyable laser false to this a few weeks back. Enjoyable I say because I was expecting it to possibly happen given the near setting sun and seeing the approaching tree line full of bare branches.

V1 man....why I posted in in the V1 section...

I dont get laser false alerts with the V1..maybe I have the *Sun Light* filtering option turned on.

I get on avarage 4 to 5 false laser alerts a week on mine

From the Sun or brake lights? I get falses from the newer rear lights but its not that common but still wakes me up.
