I aggree, a purchase decision on a detector should not be solely decided on false alarms. Since I think detecting false alarms is impossible, I actually think it SHOULDN'T be a consideration at all.

Most important in a detector purchase IMO is its range and some form of bogey counter would be real important I would think. I like the way the 8500 shows the frequency, that rocks. But I also like the way my V1 shows the direction of the signal. Since I thought I'd want to know where that signal was coming from (not a threat if its from the side, and probably not a threat if its behind you) more than I cared what actual frequency was, I chose the V1.
