Back to the topic...

The PoP upgrade is now available!

For recent models (with the v1.8 firmware) it's $55 + shipping. You have to ship off your V1, they crack it open install the necessary upgrades, and ship it back.

However, unless the cops start using PoP radar around here (which is controversial to say the least, as it's not very accurate) there's no real reason to upgrade since the only change from v1.8 is the addition of PoP detection. If you've got an older detector, you will probably want to update it to get the latest firmware, but expect to pay more than $55.

I'm debating sending mine in... it's probably not really worth it, especially since a ticket written on PoP data is probably not admissable as proof of speeding. But on the other hand, it'd be nice to know if there's a cop ahead by picking up stray PoP signals.
