Radar detectors
Discussion
they do tend to go off quite alot ,traffic lights,house alarms,and other signals set them off,but you soon get to learn when it is a speed trap or speed camera as it makes a different noise for each radar or laser device ,i have one on my car and have had it for a couple of years now and it has saved my licence by warning me of trouble in front ,it only works from behind if the signal is reflected off another vehicle first so beware....
Hi ICB.
Yeah i too have had this problem.
I found that if the sld was turned on and the engine was off, it never had a problem.
If the engine is running then it goes into some kind of weird false alarm.
Also when the engines running if you switch the sld on, itll not make the usual self test whistle, but sounds distorted.
I tried changing my power feed point from inside the car to the battery.
So far it made NO difference.
Having seen what you have put about the volts regulator you fitted, id have to say that i think the problem is a "dirty" power supply, as its ok when the engines not running.
I think ill try a noise filter in the power feed next, either a hardwired jobby or maybe a couple of ferrite rings wrapped in the power feed wiring.
Hope this helps.

SSc1 is i thnk talking about radar detectors.
Sld 920 wont go off with anything less than a laser,OR as i found out in testing it, you can get it to go off if you aim 3 or more TV or video remotes at it all at the same time.
It jams perfectly while doing this.
Id say that theres no way itll go off in normal use, as it only reacts to pulsed infra red.
