So, I was happily doing my threshold braking from highway speed entering the 101 off ramp, when my V1 suddenly started going nucking futs.:yikes:

Looking around, sure enough, an LA Sheriff is hiding in the bushes. V1 is great though, because it was giving me full bar K band, yes, K, NOT Ka (CHP only) for 1/4 mile, and 1 bar 3/4 mile away. And this is after me going down hills a mile later.

V1 rocks!:thumbup:

i tested 3 units myself in same car....

....using one of those police standalone units that spits out K band?

the nice thing is this unit is always there and there is an S curvy portion to the road before the unit and so i did my empirical little experiment.

i tested our 8500, our bel 980 and our V1.

all three really picked up the source from far away. i don't know how Ka would be since there aren't any Ka standalone units, but the K band sensitivity doesn't seem to differ all that much once you reach the upper echelon of detectors.

i thought i would seea difference, but i did not.

Some (well, at least one -- the one who was beaming me) CHP motorcycles seem to have K band radars -- the cars are all Ka. I hate those darn "Your speed is x" signs...K band and annoying as hell.

Agree - V1 ROCKS! :thumbup: :thumbup: Not that I ever speed....:angel:

 

[The HACK]

This is completely off the topic, but I find that at around 8:00am driving EASTBOUND, I can trigger the Laser on the V1 everytime I turn on the windshield jet. Pretty trippy.

However, when the sun is more directly up it doesn't happen. :dunno:

Are you sure it wasn't the g-force sensor on the G-Tech Pro
