Angry RADAR BLOCK

NOW! you tell me! I couldn't figure out why my (expensive, "top-of-the-line", highest rated, $400) Valentine One radar detector didn't detect Ka band over 1/2 mile away when it TESTED (independently) at over 1 1/2 miles!!!

Maybe I can take the guts out, locate the front and rear sensors, mount them fore and aft, and run wires to the "remote" (or hidden) main chassis!? . . . . . . justkiding. Or, drill a hole in the roof and mount it up top for proper operation (bubble gum around the power cord running thru the hole in the roof).

[they make 'em like that (separate mountable remote sensors). i saw 'em on the internet. they cost $1200. & up!]

THANKS for the heads up!
