    Default Radar Warning and Laser Warning Sound different right?

    I think so but not 100% sure if it was just different sounding because of different cameras recording the occurrence.

    When you get a laser warning it sounds different then a Radar warning correct?


    (Don't own a V1 yet... just an inquiring mind)

    Laser sounds a European two tone siren sound.
    Might want to read the owners manual so you are not so overwhelmed when it arrives.

    Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks alot for giving me the Owners Manual link... For some reason I didn't even think about that and I've been reading everything I've come across. I'm defiantly the kind of person who likes to do the research and find out how something works before I have it. So I have an understanding of whats going on when I begin to play with it.


    Thanks!

    Each band has a distinctly different warning sound(X , K , Ka, laser). After a week or so using it, you won't have to even look up to know what band it is.

    As mentioned, all bands have different tones.

    The Ka and Laser are very distinct.

    Yeah, I've had my display out of my for this whole week while working on it. I can tell by the sound what it is, when you get really good you can hear forward or behind.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this was a joke. Although, without the arrows, you learn pretty quick how to tell the difference. thestaton wrote about this recently, how he has learned pretty quickly how to discern front and back via rampup and such.
