False Alert
Radar Detector Testing

The chief complaint with radar detector owners are false alerts. This year SML performed an extensive test on a two mile section of I-10 in downtown El Paso Texas that is saturated with X and K band false alerts that come from shopping centers, gas stations and alarm systems.

Ten common false alert locations were identified prior to the test.
