I may try contacting Escort to see about a repair. As said, I had it repaired already, they fixed the antenna, and it helped. However, reception from the rear is horrible, and it only picks up maybe 5 seconds before you see the cop. I finally decided that cops in my area use a very weak radar and even the best detector wouldn't pick it up like it should. Don't know if that is correct, but it is my way of thinking.
