    It should be K band. Mine always goes off when I go passed the Walmart by me.

    Is K-Band programmed 'on"?
    Are the doors opening & closing? I had one (not Walmart) that threw me off. The doors were open and stayed open the time I sat and waited on the wife. I concluded something was wrong because I always got an alert at this parking lot. Folks walked in & out and I never saw the doors close. I figured they were having some problem so they stuck open the doors for the customers.

    A lot of the WalMarts now use optical sensors for the doors instead of the standard k-band

    X2 Not every Walmart uses radar for their doors. The new Walmarts near me don't.

    As stated above, I had everything turned on, on the V1. It must have been optical like you say, but down the road I got full blast K from the Walgreen's drug store.

    It was kind of nice actually.... silence! But I love hearing that V1 on the open highway!!!

    Interesting, had no idea optical door openers existed, hopefully we'll see more and more of these so we won't have so many falses
