False Alarms from Other Cyclists

I've noticed several others reporting this on this forum and the DC Rainmaker forum, but I'm finding that, with the Varia RTL510, I get false alarms from almost all cyclists coming from behind. I just replaced the previous Varia rear radar with the 510 and with the previous Varia I had very few, if any, false alarms from other cyclists and 99% of the time only received vehicle alarms.
This is very disconcerting when on group rides and I consider it a reason to return the unit if it can't be fixed.
I e-mailed Garmin support about this issue on 7/2 and still haven't received a response.

    Strangely enough I experienced the same thing on my RTL515 last night, but haven't done previously with the same unit.

    That's not really a false alarm.

    False is nobody there

    I need to know if some other cyclist or a jerk on skates is getting ready to be stupid around me. 'swhy I have it.

    If you have been idling down the trail and a self absorbed bozo thinks you can see him,

    because he can see you, and tries to pass, it's good to have.
