Escort 8500 acting funny?
Lately more and more I have been getting false laser warnings. Sometimes while just sitting there at a light. And sometimes anytime I hit the gas more than 25%. This is getting annoying, and is totally random. It did this when plugged into the outlet, and still doing it with it hardwired into the fuse panel.

If you are anywhere close to an airport it will go crazy.
Mine does this all the time when within 2 miles of the airport.

Thanks Nuke, looks like there is others with the same issue. Looking into the fix right now. Registering, putting Nuke as the referrer.
