Laser false alerts

TTRicks · 05-15-2003, 09:53 PM

Anyone know what could cause false laser alerts on a radar detector? I am using a PNI Traveller II model. I did a search which talked about false alerts sometimes when using the windshield wipers/washer. But, I was not doing that here. I got a series of signals several minutes apart but never saw a cop. Any ideas?

I get the same thing in the middle of nowhere between Vegas & Flagstaff. Lazer hits about 5-10 min apart w/ no cops in sight. Very scary.

a remote rock canyon. I'm guessing here but I think certain objects reflect sunlight light waves at the laser frequency.
