slow down[sm=smiley8.gif]no seriosly x,k,ka are all radar frequency which if you live in an area w/ alot of automatic doors (supermarket, bank, malls, etc.,) the radar on the door can also set it off. if you travel the same route daily you should start to see a pattern for falsies. once you've established what fixed items set off the detector you can relax a little more and not put your self through the windshield. vg-2 is when a cop is trying to be sneeky and has an electronic cloak on his gun SA must be something new or different on that model I know SWS that is like emergency equipment ( ambulance firetrucks and sometimes road workers)

Just FYI VG2 dont do anything it just means that a cop in one of the states where radar detectors are illegal is about to pull you over. And i always say two radar detectors is better than one. Ever since i have had a radar detector (the last 2yrs) the only ticket i have gotten is in virginia for using it, and i always drive 10-20 over the speed limit.

you don't need to pay attention to what is coming up on the detector just that something is coming up so you can slow down for it.
