I have a cobra radar trapper which I was bragging about the other day. Bragging on how it could pick up 360 degrees and X..K...and Pop alerts plus Speed trap areas. Well yesterday we were drawing into Cosco supermarket car park when the lady voice on the Cobra shouted 'train approaching'. I almost wet my pants laughing. Not only was there not a train in sight, the nearest railway line is about 5 miles away from costcos car park down in Downtown Lancaster PA. Has anyone else had a very strange signal coming over their radar trapper??????????????

That's a big reason I don't have a radar detector.....I couldn't stand yet someone else watching

I'm guessing that motion sensor(s) on the building may be at a frequency close that used for train warnings. I've got a Passport, and have noticed over the years that it will occasionally err on the side of being overly cautious with certain signals.

Are you sure it was not detecting the bottles of Night train in your frunk?

I wish I could have said 'maybe so' Marc but I am a non drinker lol. Hell I had to google what night train was anyway haha.

LOL! That's why I'm on the fence with the GPS portion of the "installed" detector.

Anyway, it probably was a train 5 miles a way or less (the train doesn't have to be at the crossing for it to alert, correct)

I don't think that stuff is certified for human consumption anyways

Theres not even a train line withing 5 miles of costco. Unless the train was coming up the U S 30 highway lol

Marc I will keep that stuff in mind for when I am doing some paint stripping around the house hahaha
