V1 custom sweeps

[midd]

Thanks to tz1's code and his work, I have been able to upload Ka band customs to my Arduino board for the V1 to use. Here are the sweeps I am using:

maybe you can send that on to M/V to include it in a new upgrade. :P

So how well does it work?

I def. notice a difference. Yesterday I took a drive 40 minutes each way. Traffic was moderate. I had an alert each way in different locations. The first alert I'm not sure if it was a false because where the area I was in, the local PD uses Ka band. The 2nd alert was in my hometown so I can say it was a false since they use K band. I'm running Ka Guard off and Ka sensitivity on.

Loving it!

Looks promising. Keep us posted!

Interesting for sure.

So I emailed VR to ask about the custom sweeps. I wanted to know once I upload them if they get stored in the V1 or if they need to be sent each time the V1 powers up.

Here's the answer:


Dear Sir:

Thanks for your email.

According to the engineers, the V1 will retain the "custom sweeps" until the user changes them or defaults to factory settings.

Cordially,

One other question about the sweeps:

Do the ones I enter stay saved in the V1? Or do I have to keep something connected to the V1 for it to load them?

I have an Arduino board connected right now. Just wondering if I need to keep the board powered and connected in line with the V1.

Thanks

==================================================
So as a result, if anyone in the Southern New Jersey region would like their V1 "programmed" for custom sweeps, pm me. All I ask is that you send tz1 a few bucks for his time and effort. FWIW, I'm way south, below Trenton and below Cherry Hill. If we have to meet somewhere, maybe throw a few for me for gas.

I like this feature, however I have very little trouble with Ka band falses (ka guard on). I do however have plenty of problems with Audi's and their K-band constant on lane warnings. If you can setup custom sweeps to filter those out, that would be awesome.

Not possible. Most K band lane assist transmitters seem to operate at or above 24.200 GHz. However, I also ran into a police radar transmitting 24.248 GHz. So custom sweeps cannot be used to filter out K band lane assist. The only thing that helps for some systems is a time based filtering scheme where shorter pulses are not reported. I have read that turning POP off will filter out the Audi K band lane assist. Does not work on M-B systems though as the ones I've encountered are constant on.
