    Default What is a J Alert?

    Is the V1 picking up a Jammer with a "J" Alert? If there is a thread on this subject, sorry, I looked without success.

    Just wondering if anyone has experienced a J with their V1 & what does it mean?

    J is junk, it flashes when v1 thinks it encountered a flase from a RD.

    J is not very accurate so be careful before u ignore it might even J out real police sometimes.

    J stands for "junk" with means that the V1 is picking up a junk radar detector like a Cobra or Uniden that is leaking Ka band.

    It can "J" a true radar source too. Be cautious and turn off POP if it is enabled. Turning off POP minimizes "J" alerts.

    I was going to say thats TRUELY impressive it can accurately detect junk detectors like that...but unfortunately you said it isnt 100% accurate and can "J" on real sources.

    J is valentine's way of telling you to turn off poop to maintain sanity.
