    Re: Sensitivity, Sensitivity, Sensitivity!

    Next generation radar detectors will be able to pinpoint radar sources and update you in real time their locations just like any naval or aircraft radar. It could either interface with your GPS or...

    You don't have to go that far. There's not much of a difference in performance if it's off by half a degree.

    I mount mine left of my RVM and it is perhaps at a 2-3 degree tilt on the roll axis...

    I get the same thing occasionally with my 3.858. Full blast K-band as I pass the LEO mixed with a blip of Ka.

    I'm going to make a guess that the person you bought it from did the same thing I did. Traded his XTR690 in for the PRO78 and had them swap the sticker as well.

    My pro78 has an xtr690 sticker and serial number. That is because I sent my xtr690 back to Michael B to swap for a pro78. To keep track of service and warranty, he transferred the sticker as well.

    You don't even need to call them. Just send the unit in with a short paragraph describing your problem. They'll call you if they need your CC (they did for mine, but I was not the original owner).

    I've heard that it was usually due to aging or failing capacitors. Correct me if I am wrong please. My V1 was the same version as yours. I received E's once a week and decided to send it in. They...

    I have 2 V1's (3.858 and 3.863). They both ghost like crazy near my local Walgreens. Don't think that the bogey is perfect all the time.

    Are you sure you're not just expecting too much out of the V1? If it's tuned, then it means that it operates within VR's specifications. Since you don't exactly describe specifically why it is you...

    The arrows are and were never perfect. Be happy with what you've got. Personally, I prefer the later versions with the digital temp compensation board. It should mean a lot less tuneups.

    Stratches won't affect radar sensitivity at all. If you ever take apart the V1, you'll see that the radar portion of the lense is actually completely opaque. Only when it is HEAVILY stratched might...

    Actually, mounting it as far as you can to the left makes the most sense. Since most of us drive on the right side of the road, mounting it as far as you can on the left puts the detector as close as...
