Hey, Jim, thanks for the list, I just wanted to ask you what is meant by the quoted sentence? Increase in response or sensitivity or just more frequencies covered?

Thank you!
Well, I actually quoted someone from VR, and they didn't give an explanation But, I'm pretty sure I know what it is:

A while back Dilip and nvr2fast did some testing against some photo radar units, Gatsos I think, if you search old posts you'll find it. In Euro more, the V1 would miss these Gatsos, turns out that when they checked with Spec mode on a Belscort, the Gatsos were WAY off freq and outside the photo radar band that the V1 swept (34.3 GHz +/- 100 MHz). They reported this to Valentine Research.

So, I am pretty sure that Valentine widened the sweep around 34.3 GHz photo radar. So I would say that a user of Euro mode would probably want 3.851 or later just to be safe.
