    It's real and I'm very convinced that the V1 J's LEO and have seen it, experienced it several times with 35.5.
    but I don't think that this feature is useless. I think it's a good tradeoff of false alert reduction to false false alert risk.
    The J alert will never be fixed and VR has admitted it that it is not 100% perfect. Case and point. The V1 can get a false Ka alert and yet won't J it out. It will also J a false Ka alert and a true ka alert or LEO. I think it is useless because it is not 100% perfect.

    I have the 3.863 and encountered several J-outs and all are crappy detectors----NONE have been a real KA radar J out

    Let's agree to disagree on this logic

    You can disagree on the logic but in the end, it is a useless feature.

    Same here on my 3.861. Anytime I have had A J-out, there was no LEO in sight. I slow down and go on alert if I get any kind of Ka activity. Better safe than sorry.

    Was pop on or off?

    Supposedly pop will make a difference.

    I have had mine off since almost the beginning and I never get J's besides two very early on.

    I get J's from time to time, but since I turn pop off, it's 75% less.
    good thing about J'ing out a real KA, it is that it beeps up to 4-6 dots for 1-2 secs then J out.

    You just have to bite the bullet davekr. VR will never make this feature bulletproof. I'd wish they will be able to have a version where it will be an option in the future and I'll be the first one to upgrade.

    You know I kind of agree with you. I may send it in for a check up in the future but I think I will not do it soley based to get the J bug fixed which apparently can't be right now.....
