34.7 vs V1 - 812, 813 & 872
Had to shorten the distance this time since I was doing it myself. The 34.7 was reaching farther than the 400 ft. limit range and had to go with 3 disc this time to shorten the distance that was available during the test.
Please note that this is just using one of each version. In order for me to say one is better than the other, I have to use at least 5 units of each version to really get a good sampling of the data. You can also check the results with 35.5 here in this thread

Does one particular version dominate all Ka band signals? We will see when we get to 33.8.

Very Nice Job of Testing and Thank You for taking the time to do this. Looking forward to the next 33.8 testing.
Re: 34.7 vs V1 - 812, 813 & 872
Many thanks for testing and sharing these results, NightHawk. (34.7 in here & 35.5 in the other thread).
One question: for these 34.7 tests, I’m assuming pop was enabled for 872 like for the 35.5 tests, correct?
As a side note, this was hot-off-the-press over 9 hours now, yet so quiet in here, obviously everyone is napping or hung over…or noses out of joint. :) Or I'm stuck in some strange V1 Zombie time freeze! :D

POP was enabled. Sorry for not mentioning it in my OP. I was rushing to post it since it was getting late last night and probably sleepy too.
Re: 34.7 vs V1 - 812, 813 & 872
So to summarize, all 3 versions of the V1 performed similarly with Ka guard off and on.
Re: 34.7 vs V1 - 812, 813 & 872
I just ran the numbers for data applying only to the 3.872 version and came up with the following observations from the posted test data:
On 34.7, with Ka-guard off, the V1 performed average of 26.7% better. The range over 3 units tested was between 22% and 29.6% better.
On 34.7, with Ka-guard on, the V1 performed average of 21.1% worse. The range over 3 units tested was between 19.9% and 21.8% worse.
On 35.5, with Ka-guard off, the V1 performed average of 23.45% better. The range over 3 units tested was between 20.7% and 25.5% better.
On 35.5, with Ka-guard on, the V1 performed average of 19% worse. The average over 3 units tested was between 17.3% and 19.3% worse.
Those are some very interesting results on a relative basis, and the differences are pretty significant.

That is what I am leaning to. The difference here could be manfacturer variance of each version. I also thought that the 872 would dominate the other versions but to my surprise, it didn't. This also concludes my earlier findings that when VR does a tune up/repair, they pretty much have a benchmark for every detector's performance that comes out of their facility. Meaning that if tuned up/repaired, we should have confidence that every V1 that comes out of their facility performs like any other V1's(talking about performance of each radar after tune up/repair). Of course overtime, performance decreases due to a number of factors.

Performed similarly?

Re: 34.7 vs V1 - 812, 813 & 872
My understanding with what upsatedoc stated was that in this particular test, there is only a few feet difference in average with all units tested with Ka guard on and off. Between ka guard off and ka guard on, it's obvious that there is increase performance with Ka guard off.
