OK I've been wondering why my radar detector has been going of randomly since owning my PM35.

I went for a 400km drive yesterday and discovered when I go to overtake or push over half throttle my radar detector goes off with a "Radar Warning" the K Band warning still works as there were a couple of cops on the way, so I was playing around with throttle as I was driving along and every time I push over haf it sets of the detector,

I'm thinking there is RF coming from my throttle body and getting picked up by the detector.

I think this should not be happening as all electronics must meet standards for RF interference.

Maybe I have a break down in the insulation some where but I can't see anything loose or cut/worn.

Anyone had this or can see corelation between these units.

Radar detector is Beltronics multi band,

If there are 2 receivers within a small vicinity and 2 transmitters operating on or very close to the same frequency, as soon as 1 transmitters signal becomes equal to the other,both receivers will pick up both transmitting signals, once one signals RF becomes stronger then the other, it is now the priority.

Interference standards means nothing really, RF doesn't care, if your on its frequency it's going to listen.
