Must be a long vacation :D
But seriously, if you look back at the last major update it was 6 months from US 14 before US 17 was released so maybe something new around September?
It seems so. He used to be very active here answering questions and clarifying our misstatements, but now you hardly ever see anything from him even when somebody has tagged his name in a comment or question.
All detectors have problems, even the flavor of the month Uniden R1/R3. The difference is how the manufacturer deals with the problems. In the beginning Radenso was very responsive, releasing firmware updates frequently. Michael was very active here and participated in the various tests...
Could you have cell phone interference? There's another post here by Salty that describes his cell phone's proximity to the detector causing it to sleep.
A Dragoneye is not radar and selective I/O is not the same as QT. QT is possible in theory, but not likely in the real world environment. It's more something we see in testing here to test a detector's reaction. In my state the only LEO's who use K band are locals who are poorly trained...
QT shots are not a threat in the real world, plus it has to be a very fast shot for the RPSE to miss it. Not very practical from the operator's end. K Narrow sweeps 100 +/_, so you're safe. I've run these settings and although I don't have any K band radar in my area I have gotten great range...
I remember when I was trying to get along with a Max a few years ago this was a big topic of discussion. The Max was bad to mystery false and you would look around and not see any cars or typical sources to cause falsing, so we tended to point to satellite dishes and cell towers as possible...
Where I drive both the state and locals use I/O almost exclusively, so I don't get as many hits. You have a first class detector and one that will sniff out those faint I/O shots. In time you'll get some hits and come to appreciate what you have.
Thank you for not abandoning us. As many have posted US17 was much quieter and falsed far less. US20 falses more, but it did fix the lockout problem. I get 34.7 falses where there is no 34.7 radar in my area. They may be from BSM systems or trucks, although there's not always a big truck...
Actually Mac has about half the marketshare you quoted and it's been dropping under Cook's leadership. As it keeps dropping software makers have to take a hard look at whether they're going to invest the money to develop products for the Mac. See 2017 figures here. It' ain't pretty.

I fear further efforts to quieten it will only result in range taking a hit. US20 was supposed to be quieter, but that firmware is prone to mystery falsing.
