any way to identify Ka frequency with a V1?

[dizwiz24]

I see, on this site, a lot of 'Ka at 35.5', or specific info about Ka frequencies. Its my understanding Ka could be a couple different frequencies (hence the name 'superwide band'.)

How do I know what frequency is being used? Is there a way that the V1 can be made to display that info? or is that info supplied be other brand detectors?

Who is using 35.5 Ka? Ive heard V1 is a little weaker against that type. Is it common?

The V1 can't identify frequency, that's one reason some of run dual detectors, just one of the reasons. V1 does have a hard time with 35.5 especially off axis.

No.

You'll want to look at a Redline if you want both tech mode and good off-axis 35.5 Ka reception.

If you're running with a V1 and driving in a curve and you get a Ka alert, you need to slow down immediately. Just assume it's 35.5 Ka until you can verify
otherwise.

I am a long time V1 owner and an am generally very happy with it, but 35.5 Ka is a major weakness if you drive on roads with hills and curves. Fortunately that is not too big of a problem in central Indiana as most roads are very straight and flat.

There are ways to guess. If you can, look in the officers car and see the make if or ask them. In time, one can learn 35.5 (mostly Kustom) because it acts more like a beam and does not scatter like lower freqs. by moisture in the air, look for the white face black cans. Applied Concepts (aka Stalker) 34.7 has black face black cans with about 6 to 8 ridges length wise, not a smooth round can and the DSR 2X can run the front/rear at the same time (1-2-1 on the V1 display- you will know it when you see it happen). Other members can input on this with their knowledge.......

the 1-2-1 is sooo interesting.
