ever taught about using the v1 in euro mode while in the US

[RoadWarrior86]

I was just thinking has any one run the v1 in euro mode in the US, I mean what would happen would it miss all the leos who run ka radar or what. Would it decrease range, I wanted to try this for fun for a couple days to see what would be the results.

Nothing would happen because Europe uses a different frequency/radar

so the v1 will completly miss all the radar frequency with ka band 33.8 35.5 amd 34.7. What about k band?

Euro mode is just a Fancy was of saying Ku on, it doesn't shut off anything else

As stated above you lose detection of the most common US Ka frequency -- in fact you lose two of the three US Ka frequencies. It's probably an extremely bad idea. In fact, it is an extremely bad idea.

oh for get about running in euro mode. Instead runnign the v1 upside down.

[jdong]

Upside down or right side up performance will be relatively unchanged. I think you are thinking at a 90 degree rotation, in which case it catches polarized photo radar transmitters better. AFAIK there are none of those in the States yet, but there is the Stalker ATR handheld (34.7) which is polarized horizontally. If the officer uses this gun at various angles from the "upright" position then your detection of the signal can be significantly attenuated. Unfortunately, there is not really a way to predict what direction the officer orients his gun, and the "upright" position is best detected by a regular unrotated mount to begin with.

Bottom line is, in the states you probably shouldn't be trying these silly tricks
