    Default V1 3.826 vs 3.851 TEST RESULTS (just my own testing)

    i would wait and upgrade....one of my buddy had the 3.826 and one of my other buddy had the latest 3.851. The other day, we went out and test it.

    They all put 2 v1 in my car and tested out. I know a place by my house that has Ka band everytime i pass so we went there.

    The first test of both is that:
    1)The performance is the same.
    2)Both went off at the same time and distance to the Ka band.
    3)Did trials on both and in conclusion, no performance update for the 3.851. It is just heavier like v1 customer service said it was only for manufacturing process.

    The second test that my buddies did:
    1)I told one of my buddy to stand at the point for a reference point of 60 feet away from the Ka band and has a stopwatch.
    2)I only tested the 3.826 first and the 3.851 off.
    3) When he started the timer after I step on the gas, I speed up and past my buddy and hit the Ka band.
    4) It was 6.89 secs after I passed him when the Ka band went off.

    The third test was the 3.851:
    1)Did same thing but now with the 3.851.
    2)This time it was still the same.
    3) Only 6.91 secs

    In conclusion:
    There is no performance upgrades in the 3.851. Both 3.826 and 3.851 is still the same just that, the 3.851 is heavier.

    HOPE THAT HELPS! :shock:

    Thanks for posting your test results! We've been waiting to see if there were any differences in a direct comparison between 3.851 and 3.826.

    VR will be glad to see that too. Maybe now they'll quit getting so many phone calls about it! :P

    ya after i seen the results,
    I said whats the point of upgrading since there is no range updated performance. I have a 3.826 and i love my v1. unlike my buddys one, mine is lighter

    So in my opinion, I would hold off and wait until v1 realeases their major update.

    Thanks G35!
    My .826 works fine and I was almost "dreading" sending it in for the update. I don't get any E messages either. Thx again, Scott.

    Hi, guys, has anybody tried to compare 3.825 and 3.826 versions directly?
    Was there a noticable difference?

    Thanks.

    I believe the biggest complaints with the 3.825 were:

    *Bogey Lock Tone not working correctly - fixed
    *K and Ka Ghosting - Ka ghosting fixed?
    *J out of real Ka threats - still not fixed
    *Arrows not always working correctly - improved

    Anyone else care to add to this?

    I recently sent in my 3.825 and am happy to report no J bugs so far with the new 3.826 software.
