4 patents starting 4 years ago and a patent continuation, which is very rare - wonder if it got approved or not or if it is still pending continuation?
^ It was resurrected from 2007. Back when jimbonzzz frequented this board.
Segmentation does enable the RD to concentrate on the most common Ka bands since it is superwide and takes time to scan the complete band. This allows a quick trigger or POP to likely be received as...
So what is the difference between the 1.8 and 1.85?
If I were in Spectreville I think I would opt for one of the RDs that were stealth and not Spectre detectable. The V1 (any version) is highly detectable.
I don't know if any of the Escort products have good filtering with BSM. The V1 does and at least where I live a high end RD is useless without BSM filtering. As time goes on it is only going to...
The reason the "others" have caught up to the V1 is primarily due to the fact that a lot of the first patents that MV owned have expired and are now being used by the other mfrs.
Actually the basic charge is $45 unless abused or modified.
I would send it in to make sure it is working correctly then, probably worth the 45 bucks. One other thing, is it possible the audio is working intermittently where you would miss the light...
It could be they are running VASCAR which is timing between 2 points of a known distance. The other possibility is they are running POP and that is hit and miss of picking it up depending on band...
Just wondering, I don't know how old MV is but what will happen to VR when he retires. As a privately owned company, I guess he has many options, sell it or hand over control to someone trustworthy...
I would upgrade or as suggested buy a refurb'ed. Starting with if I recall 3.85x units can detect errors and also keep a steadier LO. In short, the newer units are less likely to fall out of tune. ...
To upgrade or repair you really don't need to talk to customer service, just fill out the forms, send it in with payment and wait for it to return. Personally I have never had a problem with...
Outdated platform? The only original part in the V1 is the chassis (even the chassis has changed in size since the original). I buy a detector for what is inside, not the case. If you need bells...
How old is your V1? I upgraded mine in Dec and it has TMF2. This is not turned on by default, you must go into programming options to turn on. Works great, I get very few falses now from side lane...
Not quite, TMF2 was simply renamed to Junk-K falsing, there is no difference at all in systems with the old name of TMF2 and the new name of Junk-K.
A 15 yr old V1 does not have it's LO locked to a crystal and also does not have a digital temperature compensator which assists in keeping a stable LO and will throw an 'E' if it can't, all this...
No problem, been doing that very thing ever since the 1st V1's and have never had an issue. Although, I have thought about installing a 'break on make' timer since I have a spare timer that I am not...
No, not simultaneously but it will get through all of the narrow custom sweeps incredibly quick. Faster than you can blink.
Yeah, I will have to upgrade my V1, it does not have any type of TMF. The detector goes off on K band when I hit the on ramp alerts constantly during my 11 mile interstate commute and stops or...
How did he "renew" his patent? That literally takes an act of Congress to extend a patent. Patents exist for a certain period of time for a reason.
LOL - somebody watches Suze Orman (on CNBC 9pm EST Saturday)
If you get the Dragon Lady and she gives you a "tude" don't put up with it and ask to speak to someone else, you may find yourself talking to MV or "Mike" the tech.
Calm down people. Let ye who has not ever been a noob on this site cast the first stone. If it bothers you, do what I do, selectively read. If you are reading every post on every thread you may...
VA can but don't confiscate RDs. They used to confiscate detectors "as evidence" but someone challenged that and the court said the detectors CAN be confiscated but the owner MUST be reimbursed for...
