Logic or Advanced Logic modes where K-band is used

[Drexx3]

Ok, I've been running my V1 for over a month now in A mode and am trying it in logic and advanced logic modes. It is much less noisy, but I can't figure out if it makes sense to use the modes with k-band auto mute in an area (Southeast FL - Palm Beach County) where K-band is being used. The last ticket I got was by a Genesis radar which I understand is K-band.*

It just seems that muting it is counter intuitive and counter productive. Right now the only programming option is 7-down to get 10 seconds mute (in logic mode) but I'm nervous to try 30 seconds mute.*

My wife hates riding in my car now because of all the beeps. I don't regret getting a V1 but would reconsider a 9500ix or GX65 given all the city driving I do.*

I'd like to disable X band too, but am afraid to do it because I keep reading about it being discovered in use more and more recently.

Any suggestions? Anything I'm missing/not understanding?

Thanks

You've done the right thing by driving with it in A mode...you've got to start somewhere to become comfortable with the device, especially in a busy, urban area. I believe you should try little L mode and big L mode to see how they "feel" given your locale and number of extraneous signals. That would be an appropriate next step...then you would move on to dialing in filtering if you deem it necessary.

You haven't altered anything by changing 7 to a down arrow (edit) when using A Mode. Step 7 and the b C d arrows regulate the delay when using little L or big L.

I strongly recommend looking at some of the more aggressive mods that you can program. Nobody can say what settings are right for you. I travel the same course over and over and have aggressive filtering set up. This could be dangerous if I travel to an unfamiliar area and miss a warning I should pay attention to. Settings E and F are REALLY important....read the description over and over 'til you comprehend what's going on.

I understand, I get the same thing in my car. Other detectors do offer superior filtering. Everything is a bit of a compromise.

I'd like to disable X band too, but am afraid to do it because I keep reading about it being discovered in use more and more recently.

NJ is about the only place I'm aware of that still uses X band on a regular basis. Maybe other FL residents can comment on that.


I'd like you to dial in some of the programming steps after you sample little L and big L. There are many write-ups on this. You MUST use the device in little L mode (or A mode when on the open road or in unfamiliar territory) with the more aggressive filtering.

How many leds are the false and the type?

I'd look at 3s muting and add "E" & "F" to the mix. If you never get rear radar from behind you can mute the rear antenna with "G".

Let us know how it goes.

You haven't altered anything by changing 7 to a down arrow...that just enables the subsequent steps.

No X band in Florida, turn it off. X-band heavily used in New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon and some parts of the Carolinas.

Reason to use l little l mode is to have full sensitivity on K-band but have it report at a lower volume. Set your control lever so you can hear it but not at the louder volume of the control knob.

After using the V1 for 18 years, there is only one way that I like the V1 settings to keep it quite but see all alarms, and that is in the little l mode. They are 7 and b arrows down, tab volume at 11:00 o'clock and main volume at 5:00 o'clock. Your wife will love you for this. When the V1 alarms, push the volume button to keep the volume low but see all of the alarms. Ka band and Laser will come in at main loud volume for priority response, and weak X and weak K will come in at the lower priority volume unit a time frame but the operator will have pressed the mute button by then. Now enjoy a great RD and see everything...... P.S.- trains one for I/O....

Someone didn't read the Stickies. You're sacrificing more than you think in Advanced Logic (Big L) mode: http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...s-l-modes.html

This is what you do. Mount in your line-of-site. I do left of the RVM and about 2 inches down. Run a 30 second K-band mute with overrides and rear muting. Use it only when you need to. Only ever use Logic. You can still see when you have an active alert, as the LEDs are bright and hard to miss, but you don't get the noise. Then you can do 2 things. One, if it is a K-band alert and you know it is a false, press the mute button and it never goes to full volume, or 2) slow down as you aren't sure and keep watching. I keep my automute volume just above audible level so that only I hear it as the speaker will now point to you, the driver. The passenger can't hear it. This works very well.

Making progress! This thing is muuuuuuuuch more quiet now. I have X off and 7 & b arrows down, running in Logic mode. Way fewer falses.

Went to the Keys this weekend too and except for the traffic drones on the Sawgrass Expwy it performed admirably. Picked up a lot of Ka CO from various cruisers between Key Largo and Key West.

My wife actually said she can appreciate it now...THAT is progress itself!

Little L, RIGHT?
