> Too much non-police radar equipment in use for detectors to be really useful any more. Stupid traffic radar sensors every couple miles, PenDot puts guns on all their stupid flashing signs, you get so many false alarms that you stop paying attention.

True, if you have a cheap detector. The 8500 hardly picks up any false signals. The only traffic sensors I pick up are the ones where it actually tells your speed. My old cobra picked up the signals of even signs that were telling you road work ahead on the electronic signs.
