The X, K, and Ka bands are quite large. 
So you can have two signals which differ slightly in fre quency and both 
can be classified as X band signals.
My friend had V1 and it tended to get confused sometimes because in the 
city, the signal has too many things to bounce off - when it bounces off, 
it changes frequency slightly, so the V1 would display 2 where there was 
in reality one signal. The occasion was rare, but interesting. 
We used to take both the Passport 5000 and the V1 by a place where the V1 
would do such a thing. 
The passport would show one X band (an auto dealer
signal)
, but if you drove closer, 
the 
signal would split into two singals of lower intensity and very close in 
frequency. At this point the V1 would start showing 2 signals in the X 
band. Then as you got closer to the dealer two singals became one again....
