    Default I am sure this has been talked about...

    I did some research and just wasnt finding what I was looking for... POP Mode... On or OFF for v3.872? What exactly does POP mode do? From my understanding it just detects those super quick on/off bursts with the radar gun and isnt used for giving tickets. So why does the redline have it off by default and V1 has it enabled? I read some where that it might slow down the performance of the unit cause it is trying to calculate if it is true pop or not. I am probably wrong though. Right now i have stock settings but X off. Should I turn off pop?

    Agree with Hunter. POP off on 3.872. When I turned POP off, it decreased my K band sensitivity by a very small margin, but I believe it's supposed to increase sensitivity to 34.7 Ka.

    If the LEO wants to use the POP reading what prevents him? Nothing, and you can’t prove a thing. If I remember correctly MPH radar guns is only manufacturer that uses POP, Ka and K, and you have to go into programming to enable it. If I was the Leo I would bypass programming and just QT, easier.

    On my V1 I noticed a pretty fair degradation of K band sensitivity with POP disabled. K band is the predominant band in my town, so I leave POP on for that reason.

    If one has MPH guns around, POP on will help the K and 33.8 Ka. Yes, one is not to get a ticket with POP, but if hit and can detect it (not always), that is a free warning because you are going to get hit with I/O right behind that to lock in your speed for a ticket. I will take a free warning any day......

    I got hit with POP once in Indiana. It'll read P-O-P on the display.
