I have about 8.5 yrs experience in radar myself and I totally agree with Dan L regarding placement, LOS, etc. to optimize performance. However, I've limited my low level flying to the p-car and a Yamaha R1. My daily driver is used for my leisurely commute in bumper-to-bumper traffic, so no detector needed there really. No detector needed on the R1 either (for obvious reasons), but the p-car is another story. With a C4S Cab, I'd hate to have to take a windshield mount down everytime I park the car somewhere (or even worse, leave it mounted and worry about theft the whole time) -- either scenario sucks! I'd almost rather drive "naked" so to speak. I figured the k-40 system along with some "defensive" driving might be a better option for me than a windshield mount -- and much better option than having nothing at all. I guess with k-40 I would be relying a bit more on the detection of energy deflected from objects ahead for additional range. I try to avoid speeding on a deserted highways or around blind curves anyway -- whether with a detector or without one. Anyway, I haven't made up my mind yet, but wanted to talk with a knowledgeable installer (and you guys) about my options and review the specs.
