The last ticket I got was by a Genesis radar which I understand is K-band.*
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.
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.*
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.
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 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.
