About Making KA Band More Responsive
I have a question, I enabled my Valentine 1 so the KA band is more responsive. I understand that this setting makes the signal strength meter react more vigorously. Example instead of 1 light lighting up you will get 3 or 4 lights lighting up on a KA band encounter. Maybe its just me but with this setting I'm finding it hard to judge how far I am from a LEO. In some radar encounters when I see 3 or 4 lights, I'm expecting the LEO to be real close or an instant on situation near by. However, its the same distance away as if it was on 1 light on the signal meter in normal mode. I'm strongly considering turning it back to the normal setting because I can judge the distance between me and the LEO better by having that gradual increasing on the strength meter.
ANY COMMENTS? :lol:

adjustable Ka guns make it difficult to predict distance.

There are no adjustable power guns, except for photo radar.

The "range" control that you see on a radar unit is a sensitivity control, not a power output control.
Look at the power output specs on some radars, like the Talon or Golden Eagle Ka radar (that is if Kustom hasn't gone belly up by now LOL!). You will see quite a variation in output power. Hence it may seem like there is a power output control, but really there is just a lot of variance in output power from unit to unit.

I dont think thats true jim
When I rode with the officer the Stalker Ka gun that was in the Car had a sinal button and it would send a smaller signal....
The transmit icon...the rings around the icon would be less when pushing that button...and then go back to full.
If that makes sense...I dont know if thats what that was but I think so!
