Even Denver has its share of K band falses.
I have a new V1, it's totally USELESS.
Every 18 wheeler truck sets it off. I can be in the middle of farm fields, pass a truck, and it beeps for no reason. I can't believe they sell it like this. All it does is beep for totally no reason. I'm ready to throw it out the window. I thought it was X-band, but from reading this forum, it says K band is too sensitive ??
Where as my 15 yo V1 was great.
I spent so much money on this new one, it's ridiculous !!!

Gentlemen and Ladies, I stand corrected. I'm back to loving my V-1. I sent my unit in for a software update to 3.8945 (I think that's correct). Today I drove to and from work and no false K-band alerts from lane change, safety K-band systems from new cars. I knew Mike would figure it out. I did notice a slight reduction in K-band sensitivity, though I'll need more time to confirm this. Never-the-less, I am thrilled.
$79.00 plus $14.00 for return shipping = Total $93.00. Well worth it.
I too thought mine was useless and was ready to give in to the fact that radar detectors were a thing of the past until I got mine back from the latest upgrade and have been using it for 3 weeks now.
I still don't understand why anyone would want to use a radar detector that does not tell you the direction(s) the signal(s) are coming from
Your right. The arrows rule. I've thought of trying another detector, but you can't give up the arrows. You are giving up too much information.
How old is your V1? I upgraded mine in Dec and it has TMF2. This is not turned on by default, you must go into programming options to turn on. Works great, I get very few falses now from side lane radar now. Before that, it was not useable due to non-stop K band alerts on the highway.
My V1 is about three and a half years old. I upgraded it in April. I purchase my first V1 in 1997. Prior to that I was running ESCORT which I first purchased in 1979 from Cincinnati Microwave.
