    It makes the V1 respond more "urgently" to Ka band. It doesn't affect the actual sensitivity, it just changes the ramp-up, to make the alert more urgent.

    For example, instead of 3 LEDs lighting up on a weak-ish signal, it may light 5 or 6.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    Thank you. I kept asking myself what that option was for.

    By accelerating Ka rampup, this setting is a 'tool' in the fight with those Redflex, low-output, photoradar vans.

    Unfortunately, on other Ka encounters you no longer get the linear V-1 ramp-up. Everything is more intense.

    Options 5 is Valentine Research's attempt to copy Escort's ramp up.
