so i re-bought a v1, need programming advice

[Kayrac]

Hey guys, First question!, Muting k band, mutes x band also, correct?

and now for my settings i would like/want advice/suggestions

1-6 : unchanged

7 : down to enable

8 : unchanged

A : unchanged as i am worried it would alert at muted volume if a KA came into range, yes/no?

B : down

C : down

D : Up

(those for 15second k band automute(and xband automute also correct?)

rest unchanged, as i want it to unmute if it's more than 4 right off, and i want it to unmute at 6

how does this sound?

Yes i realize i leave pop on, what can i hurt, maybe a few more J outs right?

So suggestions/opinions appreciated? My v1 should arrive within 2hrs now, so hopefully you guys can help me out


Also do you guys find 15seconds is to high or to little?

Now that I am more comfortable with the V1 Ive gone a little further.

30 second delay with E and F down as the K falses regularly exceed 4 and 6 lights. I have the muted volume lever at 12 o'clock and main volume to 3 o'clock.

So far it work's perfectly, and I can hear muted alerts with a reasonable music volume. Of course I go to "A" mode when heading out of the city.

My V1 should arrive this afternoon. And I have no idea of what y'all are talking about with the programming! Now I feel overwhelmed! LOL!

It's not that big of a deal. Read these:

It all makes sense in no time. Get a feel for how the V1 works out of the box first. Then, depending on your area, decide if the K band mute programming is right for you.

Thanks the links.

Tons of K door openers in my area. But Leo's also use K around here. I am looking forward to fiddling with the V1 though. Can't wait to see the directional arrows in action.

i've settled on

7:down

b:down

rest unchanged

we'll see how that goes for a while

btw concealed display rocks, much easier to mount high, although i can't shake my want to look up :P

Can anyone confirm this? I've never heard that if you mute K band, X band automatically mutes.

This is the most detailed explanation you'll find on RD.net about Rear K-band Automute options, how different AutoMute settings work and RacerX also tested range loss in small L -mode and big L -mode.
