V1 FALSE ALARM? |
- Satellite radio
(XM, Sirius, etc.)?
|
No; certain in-car antennas for satellite
radio do cause false alarms when V1 is very
close. |
|
No; however may V1 alert when its laser sensor
is pointed directly toward an in-car navigation
display. |
|
NO |
|
Not for 850 MHz (traditional) phones;
occasionally with PCS 1.9 Ghz phones in a few
areas (depends on service provider). |
|
NO |
- Family-band radios (FRS)?
|
NO |
|
No, though Urban Legend says otherwise. Might
have been confused with self-opening store doors
operating on microwave frequencies, which are
radar sources. |
|
NO |
|
No. Older V1s sometimes produced laser alerts
in response to long-range air-search radars
located at or near military bases. |
|
No. Older V1s sometimes produced laser alerts
in response to Air Traffic Control regional-center
radars located near airports (example: Indianapolis). |
|
No. This is another Urban Legend. |
