It does not pick up unwanted signals very often.

A lot of false signals which I understand can be programmed and filtered out

No ability to lock-out fixed false signals (see gas stations, etc

I really like the ExpertMeter display - a great aid in interpreting false signals

The smart cord is handy to defeat the audible signals quickly

This particular detector seems to give a lot of false signals...

False signals mostly from automatic doors such as passing by a Walgreens, CVS or bank

Works great does not over investigate weak signals

Nothing really exceptional here other than, I paid a lot, for noisy beeping detector that wasn't intelligent enough to detect false signals

Constant false signals make it worthless in populated areas.

The detector screens out the false signals so when you get an alert it's really.

Nothing outstanding here, still picks up a ton of false signals, if I'm around a business area I just turn it off

It gives too many false signals and gives the stationary radar units mounted on poles and in parked cars too late.

Still some false signals, not really false, but nothing more than some motion detector from buildings along the roadway.

I am still working through the false Kband signals being reported throughout the commute, but all in all I am finding the 8500 to be working to my expectation

Do not use the mute button or turn the volume down on your radar detector because that bleep/buzz noise is your signal to slow down

One time this Escort detected a cop so far out that after a while I was starting to think it was giving off a false signal, low and behold after what seemed like a solid minute of driving the signal got stronger and there was the cop

There are a lot of false signals at intersections and places where stores are close to the street

In city I get a lot of false signals, especially K band

It gives me great advance warning and keeps the false signals to a minimum.

Not just a couple blips getting stronger and stronger, it was full on loud, obnoxious signal instantly.

As a rule, the stronger the signal, the closer the radar

Our local police and state troopers use instant-on radar, so the only signal available to detect is the sidelobe of the transmitter antenna pattern and whatever reflects off or misses other cars being zapped.

Does not respond to false signals and mutes quickly after identifying actual radar sites.

Only had occasional false signals when in town which was expected

I actually find myself driving slower as to really be more aware of the surroundings.

If you are too much of a cheap a $$ to buy a radar detector and you still speed you deserve the ticket

I think it worked as
