False indicators on V1

I should note that I live in a small city without large concentrations of strip malls. As far as I can tell, it really filters out the signals.

We have one very large open shopping shopping center with multiple stores and 2 banks. On the adv logic mode it does a very good job of preventing false output IMHO.

It does beep occassionally there. There is a split in the highway at this center. I regularly see police on either side or at the junction. Any beeps I immediately attribute to an officer in the vicinity taking radar whether I can see them or not.

What you need to keep in mind is the distance at which it picks up signals. Out in the hills here it has beeped only to see minutes later a trooper coming from miles aways on an adjoining road. I could not believe it. I now take any indicators pretty seriously and watch the arrows.
