Actually, the Passport 9500i I have now kinda bounces on my windshield, too... not visibly, but you can hear the front tapping against the front windshield. I did not have this problem with my V1. That being said, my car is set on KWv2's that are set pretty stiff... and I'm still on RFT's, so the ride isn't very smooth... especially in San Antonio where the roads suck.

Ohh I know what you're talking about now... interesting... Well, the radar detector can track up to 8 different signals at a time... so I'm sure it'd differentiate two different signals... I mean, it can differentiate between two different cops, why wouldn't it be able to differentiate between a sign and a cop? So yeah, now that I think about it... you could still block out the radar sign... and the radar detector wouldn't go off... but when there is a cop sitting right under it, it'd notice that there are now 2 signals and would alert you...
