Just out E mode... do you got it?

[Ghost917]

LOL Just kidding.

ok just got the 2nd E. Should I go for number 3?
jk
calling now. never mind its after hours.

Yeah, once a 3.851 displays an 'E' it will keep doing it occasionally. Your 3.851 should come back as 3.858.

Sweet! i love when technology tells you when somethings off before its too late.

What sets off the E message? does it do a check of radar detection performance?

Same as the Self Cal error on escorts -- the software was unable to compensate for the drifting of its components.

However, there were a batch of 3.851's which set too stringent requirements on this not in line with manufacturer variance, and for those people there's an update.

So you saying that my V1 might not have been up to par from the 1st time i got it?

as per my experience E is not too much to worry about. i must have got 20 E's in 7 months but lately i dont get any. i never saw any decrease in sensitivity at all as i checked with a known radar source number of times.

if it is under warranty send it. i will send it in 2 more months before i run out of 12 months to get it checked and upgrade to latest version.

dont worry about it.

Anytime the V1's self-calibration routine is unhappy with how it tuned itself, it throws an E. It could be a sign of drifting/component failure, but the 3.851's had some bugs with the E feature that caused it to be thrown erroneously.

Thanks, good info.
