I did some research on the topic today because I thought the 9500ix was invisible to RDD's. Ends up that they pretty much all "leak" a little except for a select few. I believe the Beltronics STI claims to not leak at all. Evidently, the trooper picks up a signal from my radar unit and in this case there was one other car near me so he picked the most logical car to have a detector. Had I put the radar in the glove box, I guess I could have said I have one but wasn't using it and he'd have to prove it was my car he picked up on his device. Since it's only a fine I just decided to fess up and pay the fine.
