I've always wondered why people never figured this out...
Because it's WRONG. The 8500 has been rated by many places as having less false alarms than any other detectors BUT still having the best range out of almost all of them (comparable with V1).
I (like you) am no expert on radar, so I can't give a good explanation why, but I do realize that police radar and the things that give false alarms (other detectors,etc.) use different frequencies usually. Also, the 8500 is still going to alert on automatic door openers BUT probably alert less on them then some other detectors AND alert A LOT less on cheap detectors that are emitting radar.
