    Default Dissappointed with 3.864, any suggestions?

    I recently upgraded my V1 and I have discovered several 'new' bogeys on my daily commute consisting of 4 drug stores, 2 grocery store and a radiologist's office (which blasts K for 2 two miles in every direction). Oh, I now pick up "speed signs" and every S class Merc and FX within three miles . Quite frankly I am very disappointed and my prior version served me great without all these false alarms.

    BTW

    I am running X off, Pop off. Any suggestions or settings that may help me?

    Thanks.

    Yes the mute button, the new unit is clearly more sensitive which is a good thing!

    I would never complain about it being more sensitive. It could save you one day with a leo running io up ahead.

    Now that you mentioned it, I'm not upgrading it anytime soon :shock:
    I believe this is normal, as it's freshly tuned because I had this happened to me for 2 weeks with my 3.863.
