I've heard this comment about the titanium in the windshield before regarding remote toll pay through the SVX windshield. In my case, the law enforcement agencies in CA mainly use Ka band radar (almost exclusively). My detector is programmable, so I program off X band to avoid getting many false alarms (sliding glass doors on buildings, etc.). K band pops up sometimes, but is almost never police generated anymore.

I receive Ka band signals (from police.. esp CHP, but also local police) readily in my SVX.. . Usually detecting signals one to two miles before I meet that vehicle! I drive a little fast.. 70 - 75 .. on the FWY or HWY. I would be cell mate to Charles Manson if I hadn't had the Valentine One! That's why I was so concerned when I DIDN'T RECEIVE A SIGNAL WHEN THIS MOTORCYCLE COP AIMED HIS GUN AT ME! That's why I really don't think he got a reading on me.. . But, like you say, the system is so corrupt..he can just say he DID!

The Valentine One (was $450 with remote display) has a unique system of arrows, showing WHERE the signal is coming from. This is extremely helpful as you might imagine. It shows FRONT, BACK, and SIDES. So, ordinarily I would have still EASILY got a response that close to me!

I guess I can't go to court to tell the judge I know the cop didn't get a radar reading on me since my radar detector didn't respond!

Thanks again.. . Jim
