aramati:

First, I was under the impression that the X50's circuitry was good at parsing out falses. Ugh. Not good news. I'm actually looking into the top of the line Bel now. Rated as good as the other two main detectors.

Second, to answer your question, there's a bunch of sources for false reads from your X50...

Automatic doors on stores
Very old and very cheap radar detectors in other cars
plus, oddly enough some vehicles... Ford Explorers make mine go off.

There are others too, but I can't remember them right now. A google search will quickly tell you what can set them off apart from the real thing.
