Something weird happened today. Did some of you guys had a problem of the the V1 not picking up K band police radar once in a while? I had 3 radars at the same time for 10 days now and the V1 was flawless for 9 days until this thing happened tonight at around 7 o'clock. This morning it was fine and was picking up police radar signals in K band very well. When i was approching a traffic light with lights in red, both the RX65 and X50 gave me a k band alert with signal strength's of 1 and 2 respectively. As i was getting closer to the traffic light, the signal strengths increased. Both the Rx65 and X50 were mounted low in the middle and the V1 on top just above the rear view mirror. I have a 5% tint on the top of the windshield and thought it can be a factor. So i looked up at my V1 to find out where the radar source was by looking at the arrows but there was no arrows lighting up and no signal strength showing up. It was basically zero. The setup was in logic mode with little L. I came to a stop on the left lane ready to make a left turn once the green light lits up. The signal was still getting stronger and stronger in both the belscorts's as the opposite side was green with cars going the opposite way and other cars making a left turn on the other side. I finally saw the police car making a left turn after 4 cars doing it. This was in a city setting and going home driving on an interstate highway, it duplicated the same alert again with the belscort's and nothing showing up in the V1. By this time i already move the V1 below the tinted area to have less obstruction. On my way home, i always pass by this BP gas station with automatic door, and all 3 RD's alerted me with K band as i passed by.
Have you V1 owners experienced this thing happening to you with the K band not alerting police radar? If you have only the V1 in your car, then you won't be able to know. This is not a made up story and was a true experience tonight. I have the latest V1 version.
