    They are that sensitive. At testing I have had an ALP in my car behind us on the side street and shooting down vertical street at a car 2000FT away and the reflection was setting off the ALP. It happens all the time.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    Yes,the AL-P is THAT sensitive !
    You were receiving reflections from targeted vehicles on the other side of the highway in the far distance.

    I have heads on the front only and I get alerts going by mobile speed cameras that are aiming at the back of my truck. They are extremely sensitive.

    I experienced it also yesterday with ALG9. I passed a Cop with LTi 20-20 and he start to shot from my rear to opposite direction. Both V1 and AL caught it. ( I don't have rear sensors)

    Here's one of mine ;



    Front ALP sensors detect the rear facing Poliscan (lidar beam facing away from approaching car), prior to passing, and before Valetine One, which alerts once the beam hits the back of the car
