I have a new V1 & I recently turned off POP & X band & set a 30 second K automute. That made my unit so quiet I can almost forget it's there.
It was anything but quiet before the changes, but 99% of the noise was X band alerts. Now, it is so quiet it is scaring me however, & I'm wondering if maybe turning off X was a mistake??

Yeah, in 1990 or so.

Local police, not State troopers
Right off 23 where you make the turn toward Windham the guy hides behind a big hill.
My V1 was picking him up about 2 miles away even around all the turns.
As for X NOT being used in NY in general, try driving the Long Island Expressway out east say around exit 64-70 and you will encounter a Suffolk County LE using X band although they mostly use ka and laser.
He sits in the middle and I'll bet has bagged plenty of people who assume X band alerts are just interference.
Turning off ANY band is foolish IMHO because you never know.
