What kind of an improvement is usually seen? The only function I'am concerned about is ka range. My range seems to average a little over a mile ver817
Thank in advance

Mike, welcome aboard! How old is your unit? When was it last serviced?
Most likely it will need a tune. After so many years it's range will diminish. I sent in my 3.812 because my X band was dead and my K was going.
In hollywood ka is #1 ,the economy has raised thier daily ticket quota , and they are totally dedicated .The speed traps are rediculous.Well if you tuned your V1 and 3/4 of a mile is what you get ,then I'll just leave mine alone. I'd rather just sell mine eventually and use the tune money towards a new one.
Thanks for all your inputs
Question... why do Valentines need tuning? Aren't they digital devices with a DSP that's not subject to drift? Aren't the antennas fixed position and not subject to warping? Curious... just seems a little odd, sort of pre-DSP, for a receiver to need it.
actually technically it is not tuning, but repair. When a v1 goes out of tune it has actually broken. The old ones were bad at it but the new ones really don't have any problems anymore and if they do, now you have the "E" message meaning error, so you know to send it in for repair. You only hear about problems from the old V1, no one in a 3.684 or newer model has much if any problems anymore.
