    Default Quick and easy question

    Hi guys, I've been on here since October of 2008 and just getting back onto the boards and need a quick question answered. I know this may have been already answered or should be common knowledge but here goes:

    When I turn Ka guard OFF on my V1 does that also turn off the "J" Junk filter (ie. filters cobras)?

    I am in Gainesville, FL and about to return home to the sunny Ft. Myers Florida later tonight. I changed this setting earlier last night and need this question answered before I head home.

    Thanks in advance!

    I heard that if you turn off the Ka filter guard that it gets rid of the J but I am not 100% on that.

    I know that turning off POP greatly decreases the amount of Js you get though.

    Yes, that's exactly what it does. It turns your V1 into a fairly good representation of a Spectre though so be warned. I turned mine back on after about 15 minutes, it was unbearable.

    Ka guard = Junk filter. (Option # 6)


    There is also Ka sensitivity, that's a different feature. (Option # 5)


    * J in the programming menu is for POP radar and is not related to the "junk" filter by any means.

    Option #5 doesn't affect the V1's sensitivity against Ka band. It just changes the ramp up for Ka band.

    Ugh, thats really not a good thing since I live in South Florida and everyone thinks they can outsmart cops with Cobras. EVERYONE owns a Cobra in Florida.

    Thanks though for the answers and insight into this!

    Even with Ka Guard ON, your V1 should give you plenty of warning against Ka band. Ka guard OFF just "puts more icing on the cake" when it comes to Ka band.

    I stand corrected, Ka responsiveness is what the programming guide calls it.
