Unlike the V1 where there is some rubber strip for it to rest on the wind screen on, there is just to small plastic things and god can noisy. I got it to a position that it didn't make much noise as it did before but wow ... fix that escort.
Not at the V1 isn't without its faults. Its coiled power cord is a POS that doesn't stretch worth crap. The DC socket on the X50 is miles ahead of the V1's.
Ka-
The detector has less Ka sensitivity that V1 by a few seconds. But we'll see how that goes. (my V1 likes some Ka but really hates others). I would like to see how it handles Ka that the V1 J's out with even PoP off.
Annoying K-band drones -
The light pole annoying K-drones are not reported as much. Put it in city mode and you will never hear them, Highway yields a few but not many.
k-
There is no initial K mute on the x50 which might be missed from the V1. K falses that are not reported sometimes left me wondering if the thing was picking them up at all. Even in highway mode there is quite a lot of filtering on the X50.
The Spec mode is great (really enjoy that) but Expert meter is no substitute for a good Bogey counter (V1). EDIT - The spec meter is great for Situational Awareness ... Mr. Mike V, you can take that to the bank.
A voltage reading yielding ~14.6 V. Is that good or bad?? I thought that might be really high. (clearly low volts is not the culprit in my V1 Ka troubles).
