I bought a Valentine One. Bay Area, CA! Need Tips/Advice

Hi All-

This board has been an incredible help and I wanted to thank everyone for their input.

At the end of the day, I bought a Valentine One for its' arrows and better 360 degree protection. Instead of getting a 9500i, I would much rather get a SRX, but again, the Arrows seem like the killer feature, over GPS (even though this is useful).

While I anxiously wait for my detector, I would love to get help from this board in terms of settings.

Please advise me in terms of insuring that I get a good starting point for tweaking this amazing detector.

I live in Northern California (Bay Area)

Cheers.

Can't wait for feedback.

Check out the K band automute sticky here, great first thing to do along with turning X band off.

read the Kband mute as andrewaz said....
Turn Pop off

Welcome aboard!

I used to live in the bay so I know first hand that you will need to suppress k band. V1 Dave is also aware of this problem.

By following the guide to k band automuting you can run in little l mode and mute all those k band drones to whatever level of volume you would like (or completely silent) which would be independent from your normal ka and laser alert volume.

I recommend supressing all 8 leds and not only 4 or 6. Just make sure to switch back into All bogeys mode after exiting the freeway.

The V1 website has the best manual. Most people just tend to copy and paste it but it actually works if you follow the directions. Many people fail to do so and therefore whine it is hard to program (when its not).

Good luck.
