I generally detect from a mile or more away from any transmitter. Even if you POP or Instant On and I get a blip I'm going to slow down till I see the threat/determine what made my detector blip for a second even if I have to "putt" around for a few miles.
Watching traffic ahead of me helps a lot. The detector isn't a catch all ticket shield it's just another tool in the electronic warfare toolbox. If I'm looking ahead and see cars brake for no apparent reason in one lane or multiple lanes I'm slowing down cause around here there's most likely a FWPD car sitting over that hill that those folks just topped.
Sad to see potentially life-saving speed enforcement labeled as "the threat...." There was a day when we were the good guys, but no longer in today's soceity. To me, that is what's sad.
Nevertheless, by your title, I see you were a Marine. Thank you for your service. My son was with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines out of 29 Stumps from 2000 - 2004. SEMPER FI.
Now he is a US Army Sgt. (formerly 82nd Airborne) with the 4th Infantry Div. at Fort Carson (CO).
