    Default Valentine 1 Questions (1.8)

    Being a longtime owner of the Passport 8500, I have begun looking into a purchase of the VALENTINE 1. For those who currently own this unit:

    1. Does the Valentine 1 have settings such as: CITY, AUTO and HIGHWAY, or something similar to adjust the Filtering? If so, what setting do most people keep the unit on?

    2. Does the new Valentine 1.8 Version offer any better filtering than previous versions?

    My reasons for these questions is that I do a fair amount of city driving. The beauty of my Passport is that it does not false very often (though I realize the trade off of sensitivity)

    Thanks

    Well, it has A - l and L.

    All
    logic
    Advanced Logic

    You can also disable any bands that you don't want. X K Ka and/or Laser.

    I go thru my city everyday and in one spot I get up to 6 falses at a time. I keep mine on A though. If your state doesn't have the X band, you can easily disable it and not have to deal w/ the falses at all.


    Once you have the v1, you'll wonder why you ever bought a different detector.

    Which setting uses the most Filtering (for city). Thanks!

    I do 70% highway driving so when I'm on the highway I keep it in A mode, which means I get notified of everything the V1 picks up. When I leave the highway I turn it to little L mode (Logic mode) which alerts weak signals of radar at your "muted volume" which can be set to all the way muted or anywhere inbetween as loud as the v1 will output sound. I keep my muted volume pretty quiet. If the signal gets above a certain intensity it will alert you in full volume (to the volume you set it at). This is nice because even if it's just a door senser setting off your V1, i like to know. And it's not annoying because it's at your "muted colume"

    I like little L mode(Logic mode) better than big L(advanced logic mode) because big L mode wont even alert you at the muted volume to low level radar threats. it only alerts you to high intensity threats. BUT, that might be just the thing your interested in.

    the arrows are raelly one of those things that you don't know how you did with out them
