    Question Does V1 perform better w/ POP enabled?

    I have a V1 (3.872) and I only run Ka band and Laser (X band + K band are disabled). I know there has been much debate regarding POP mode - and if performance (ie sensitivity) is improved with that function turned ON.

    Is there an official or accepted answer to this yet? Is it recommended to leave POP on or should it be turned off?

    p.s. I'm in the Los Angeles region

    Thanks.

    I leave it on since I have encountered some LEO's using it in the houston/sugar land area

    I would turn it off. POP increases Ka false alerts.

    There is no POP in Sugar Land or Houston.

    There is a test on a thread 'minimum pluse length info (response time.......)' showing quickness of a V1 with pop on/off. If you can stand Ka guard off, it will improve distance alerts on the V1. I did another test last night on a sitting Leo faceing away and got up to a 1/4 mile eairlier alert with Ka guard off. That much difference!

    Pretty sure they use it though, I spoke to a local LEO that usually sits outside Telfair! He said he uses POP all the time along with KA and K band!

    I think the LEO you spoke to doesn't know the difference between POP and I/O. They aren't the same thing. I/O is sometimes used in Sugar Land, not POP.
