    Default Bought One

    Well, I pulled the trigger on a V1 last week. I got it Friday. My initial impressions are? Well, let’s say I'm not overly impressed. In all fairness though, it is too early to make a final judgment as of yet. I kind of felt this way about my Redline when I first bought it. My redline beats it in all bands 98% of the time, but I will say, I love the arrows, and the bogy counter. I do run them both at the same time though. I know some will say not to, but I'm still playing w/ the theory of it. I have yet to get some road time w/ it, maybe next Monday I will take a trip to Williamsburg to see how it does. I will have to be careful, as I live in VA, and I don’t want to get snagged by VSP w/ spectre. Settings are pop off, x off, ka guard off, all others at factory default. .

    When you run the Redline and V1 togother there is Interference. The Redline needs to be tested by Guys of Lidar along with the V1 seperately.

    LOL...I know. It's not a slam. I will have to work w/ it some more to build up my confidence. I plan on keeping it for out of VA travel, to compliment my Redline.

    I think the older V1 s are better than the new ones, just my opinion.

    I find that somewhat hard to see. The RL is not supposed to "leak" LO. I turn the V1 on first, let it stabilize for a minute, and then bring up the RL. I need to experiment w/ this to see how things work out. Maybe bring up the RL first, let it cal, then bring up the V1.

    I'm sure theres a break in period for it as well so dont condemn it yet.

    My Cobra was getting faster Ka than my Escort when i first got it (i assumed interference played a role though so i didnt think anything of it). My Ka is STILL getting better 2 months into owning it. I had my first 1.5 mile alert on C/O Ka - something i thought i'd never see based on 1st day's performance.
