Don't even ask how I found him on a car forum, but I did

His user name is W8MM, and he tries to NOT answer detector questions on that forum. So don't bother to sign up to that forum and ask him what's better, V1 or 8500X50.

Talks about what J means with the pop update, how V1 and competition handles it.

That's his ham callsign, I didnt know he was a ham operator...

According to a certain radar site he is a "Ham"........

...... :P

Hey,

cool, will try to catch him...

Thanks for the info... Mike really "disses" all the other radar detector companies but his of course for "polluting microwave signals" I guess his V-1 doesn't send out microwave garbage except that it is totally detectable from way far away to stalcar and other RDD's as all detectors are...??? :roll:

I can see SML is now on his "hit list" now also...well Car and Driver and Pat Bedard(his payed flunky) don't run that detector test site do they...? :twisted:

If you look at the SML test, except for the spectre III which was a prototype and used improperly, the V1 is by far the least detectable of the tested detectors.

Still means it's putting out micowave junk signals still and quite a bit too..! I give him credit for trying to limit them if he has but the v1 is far from being a "non-polluting" detector as he always claims it is... :roll:

I agree, I'm just saying, it's better than a lot of alternatives.

yes it is... I also wonder how it will do on the next spectra 3 tests...??

**stalkervision** · 02-10-2005, 04:17 PM

Actually this has a lot to do with the gun diode frequencies produced..Mike V's V-1 is probably running an oscillator freq designed to limit vg-2 and spectra 1and 2 reception because they aren't tuned to these bands and are picking up harmonics from the v-1 instead. That's probably why the Spectra 3 is catching it so well because the company has figured this out and compensated for it in their new RDD. The v-1 is probably as polluting as before it just it's on a different frequency then can be detected by the other rdd's is all... :wink:
