Here's the thing. Radar detectors do not filter out signals based on frequency even though they could. K-band used by police will ONLY be 24.150 and they could filter out all other frequencies of K band and vastly reduce the number of false alarms though the manufacturers don't do that. It would still false occasionally as some doors use 24.15 as well but most don't. X-band can also be done the same (though I don't know the exact frequency for police x-band). Ka can't be done the same as police have a wide range of frequencies to use on Ka, BUT Ka is almost exclusively used by police and a Ka alert should always be taken seriously. BUT that is not how false alarms are reduced. They are reduced by other technologies the radar detectors companies have developed, technologies that do not reduce range either. If you are interested in how they do it, how about contacting the companies or doing some research? So what do you think the best detector is? The one with the least amount of false signals? So $40 detectors are really the good ones not the 8500 or the V1?

And that site just could have easily used your arguement as well to "sell" radar detectors and they could have said any detector had the most false signals which means it's the best.

I still don't understand how in the world you think more FALSE signals equals a better detector. But I guess the cheap companies need someone to buy their stuff.

I guess even though I've explained it (though not thoroughly on how a detector can show less false signals, like I said how about doing some research) and a link has been shown to you that you will still argue in the favor of a beeping box because as you are saying the more FALSE signals the better the detector is. So what is your detector of choice?
