    I run iOS. As far as I known pop Ka is full time. Yav1 is a another story. I'm unsure about it. It sounds really good thou. I don't run tmf as it kills the k band sensitivity a little.
    Regardless of what app I use, TMF eliminated most blind spot falses, even the tough ones like Audi. In my area, (low risk to real k band enforcement) I gladly take the reduced sensitivity for the quietness on k-band.

    I may have to find an Android phone or tablet I can use to try the YaV1 app...at least, if it's so much better than that ios app as people are saying.
    Maybe someone will develop a better ios app down the line...who knows. I have an extra iphone 4s that I can throw in the truck I guess if I want to use the app and keep it separate from my regular phone. I will run with it for a while and once I get the freq's figured out, I will just probably run the V1 in C mode and keep the phone disconnected. I think I'm getting a decent handle on how it works ahead of getting my upgrade, so I will have a good idea of how I want to try it first.
    Thanks for the info!

    V1 useless??? I don't think so. I run with mine set at factory settings and even with cars coming out with all sorts of sensors, I haven't had any problems with that.

    I agree with this 100%. Never had a problem or regret with my V1. I have X turned off and everything else on.

    The latest is .894, no one knows if it's the greatest. It does have TMF2 however, to quiet down the falses we all get on K band with the V1.

    Well, I'm not sure it's the greatest yet either. Got good Ka and K band reception...as good as or better than the 3.813. Custom Ka is really great and the V1C is super! But gotta send it back for repairs already because the laser sensor and/or circuitry has issues right out of the box. Boo. Constant random laser falses...sitting in my driveway...in the woods. Ahh well. Guess it will get a better run once it comes back.

    3.894 is like 3.873 all over again. Both are TMF updates and we know what happened next.

    ´please explain what TMF is and what did happened next after that?
    3.894 is it a bad update version like Apple's software flop recently for their I6 phones?

    Look under V1 info on the Valentine website which explains the newer version of the traffic monitor filter (II)...
