Passport 8500 malfunction

My 8500 is messing up. Every time I turn it on, I get the K band alert. It stays at 2/3 to 3/4 signal strength all the time. I have done the reset...no luck. I checked the manual and this issue is not listed in the 'troubleshooting' section.

Has anyone else had this happen? What did you do?

My unit is more than a year old, so I think it's out of warranty.

Well, now it's happening about 3/4 of the time which is better, but I'm srill pi$$ed.

The Escort website was no help. There's no 'tech' section on it.....

No one has experienced this?
