See this post I made a few weeks back.......same deal.

For well over a year I have been harping about the V1's 35.5 issue in varied terrain with dense forest cover. When you drive the same route every day and see how the V1 reacts to Decaturs & Talons...

There are varied reasons which provide one with more data that affects how you should treat Ka alerts in your area. A few examples:

1. If you are seeing 33.8 then this brings up the possibility...

Nuff said.

Eric,

How much of the Ka band do you have enabled for scanning on the STi-R?

The RX65 in USA mode will out perform the V1. This is not a contrived test in a desert, or with microwave absorbing foam stuck in the feed horn of a radar gun, but everyday driving experience in...

Normally on my commute to work I don't pass any locations that generate false reports. But in the last week a particular town has been moving a "Your Speed is Trailer" around that runs K-Band. The...

fact that on 35.5 it is about 20% more sensitive than my V1. Right now I'm not spending any more money on detectors until the manufacturers can resolve the 35.5 problem. The STi-R offers a glimmer...

That's the best they could come up with. How about spending more time on testing detectors under more real world conditions than beeching about how people are using your "certification". The radar...

I have taken those into account in the posts where I have made multiple passes. Those tests I have performed are just as valid as those done by Car & Driver, SML, or GOL. There is no difference...

For those questioning whether there have been any documented "real world" situations with the V1 & 35.5, here is a list of previous posts I have made. They illustrate the overall problem all...

First thanks for putting the time and effort into doing this. I realize that without access to an RF anechoic chamber, that one has to make due with limited resources.

Nonetheless I technically...

What test??????

You give no parameters, 10ft away, 100ft, 1000ft??????? What angles, dead ahead, 30deg to the side????? From the passenger seat????

Thanks Roy for taking the time to host the young pups!

FUCCO the V1 does not have an Auto-mute, and despite V1 fans dancing around the issue with the various K-band settings, it does no good on X or Ka band. It is one of the more glaring features...

Even when looking straight ahead down the tunnel it has issues on Ka. Here's a quote from a previous post of mine.

Hi Carbon,

In an urban/suburban environment, or out on an open interstate, then a microwave signal is easier to detect because of all the metalic objects to reflect and scatter the signal. But in...

Lordhamster what I find interesting about your post is that on nights 1 & 3 you recv'd the same distance of 1.2mi on the 9500. So what was different about night 2? You pointed out the weak Ka...

Scott thank you for taking the time to post your experience with the '07 vintage V1. You are right I have not had any IO's from these low power Ka 35.5's either. And that is also one of the things...

Hi ghz1, I wish that was the case but the DSP Receive side of these guns are so good that range is no issue for them. My understanding is that a 12 deg beamwidth yields a target cone of about 80ft...

Raven you hit the nail on the head. The Kustom Eagle is in the 15-20mW area on 35.5 while the Decaturs & Kustom Talon are in the 10-15mW on 35.5.

In practical day to day usage in rural...

Next time you are getting those messages try covering the receive horn on the front of the detector, but not the top. Any piece of flat metal will do it, even aluminum foil. If the messages...

Did you just send your's in for an update? Or did you get a completely new unit? 'Cause that is my major complaint with the 3.826 I have now, and I don't want to pizz away $75 for no good reason. ...
