well...the reason why you don't think it works is probably because you have your detector pick up all the bands...X-band is archaic, they don't use X band anymore, and in Houston, K-band is close to phasing out too...KA-band is the predominant one now...I'm on my 4th Valentine 1, and I've always set the radar to ignore X-band, otherwise, when you go pass a store or a bank, it would go off...K-band also goes off, but K-band is also used by johnny law here, so I leave it on...

no one thing you gotta remember is that the device is a radar "detector", it detects radar. A lot of people talk and refer to it as a "radar", and it's not...it detects emitting radars...therefore, if the cop doesn't have his radar on, then your detector detect it...
