I'm in the Bay Area too. Yeah, there are lots of things that set off false alarms, most notably stores. After about 9 months of living with the falses, and noticing that I've NEVER been hit by a trooper with anything other than Ka radar, I decided to change the settings. What I've done is kept it in Advanced Logic mode (big L), turned off X band and K band, and now I have ZERO falses, and still no tickets either. I'm happy with my decision.

I've heard that some troopers in Redwood City use K band, but I am rarely in that area. But just keep that in mind since you're in Belmont.

As for the falses, it's partially true that you'll feel like the radar is "crying wolf" and you'll be de-sensitized to its warnings. However, if you pay attention, you can begin to notice and distinguish which ones are falses and which ones are real threats. For me, Ka band is the telltale factor.

Hope this helps.
