had a classic V1 moment against FHP

[Event Horizon]

Cruising on a toll road highway today, I crest a hill and at the bottom to the side of the road I see a blacked out Dodge Charger FHP, unmarked, just sitting there positioned to direction of travel. No alerts from V1.

So I slow down, pass him, and after about 10 seconds of passing him the rear Ka starts to alert 3 to 4 bars. It seems that he was using IO tactics and was targeting other cars that were approaching him from behind. Perhaps forward facing.

This Ka alert was present for about 10-15 seconds and as I was driving the signal faded to about 2 or 1 bars and I started to speed up. Out of nowhere I get a 2nd bogey lock with the forward arrow! I slow to PSL and forward KA gets stronger while rear is gone and of course, about 20 seconds in, I see ANOTHER FHP crown vic, this time marked, slightly off axis, shooting c/o ka. V1 eats teamwork for breakfast. Wish I had it on video.

Needless to say huge smile on me face. There's no wonder why the V1 is so loved around here.

Great example of the strengths of the V1. Knowing the direction and number of radar sources is very important.

Got ramp up...and down.

Very nice, kudos to the V1! I wish my Redline had this. FHP had been doing this a lot lately. Not having the arrows and bogey counter, I have to slow down for a while then I have an encounter (or else).

That is great. The other late night in Muscle Shoals AL, I turned right and got a Ka alert. According to the city map, it was almost 2 miles away. At a gas station, there was a Leo, not one nor two but six surrounding the station with five Ka radars going, neat but still have not figured out why everybody was sitting at the gas pumps not pumping gas with black kids running in and out of the store, go figure?

i LOVE this feature about my v1

V1 actually helped me avoid a FHP trooper using IO Ka last week. I kept getting random and brief Ka blips for about a mile and a half with a forward facing arrow each time. Then I spotted him and BAM full alert - I was doing 70 and had been since the start of the alerts. Textbook IO save. Just don't speed up until you have definitely identified the source.

Excellent!! I've never had an IO save. I only almost got smoked with it with 100 ft shot. It was at night, and didn't have any rabbits. I was the lone rabbit but I walked away unscathed. I had another thread for this.

This is why I would chose my V1 over my Redline if I had to only choose one.
