what do you guys normally get on your v1, Ka wise? today i got 1.5 miles warning on Ka, just curious on what everyone else gets.

I got 2.3 today on 3 brand new FHPs, and then about 20 miles later I got about .3 miles. It varies wildly based on the setup and conditions.

wow. sounds good. my 1.5 miles was on freeway with quite a grade up hill in front. so i figure i could have gotten a lot more range. i just moved recently moved my V1 from way high (behind tint) to right below rear view mirror...see how this works out.

I have gotten anything from 1/4 of a mile to 2 miles.

It is hard to pinpoint an average range since terrain is a big factor and the Ka band gun you are trying to pick up. The Talon, for example, is more difficult to pick up than a Golden Eagle Ka, and both radars are from Kustom.

If were talking about a straight road with a few hills, then I get 1.8 to 2 miles with a Stalker Dual Ka band radar. My V1 seems to get better range on 33.8 GHz but I have not done any measurement of distance with that frequency.

The V1 has impressed me with some instant on and from the rear encounters... http://www.radardetector.net/Instant-On-Ka-Encounter-11345t.php

With steady state I have gotten 1-2 mile range that I can validate. But terrain and radar angle to target have alot to do with any radar max pick up range.

On average pre-sending it in:


.1miles (Constant on)
-
.75miles (Constant on)




On average now:

Overall normally .4miles is to be expected. :(

I live rural mountains so range is certainly diminished with the twisties and hills here. I have gotton as far as 3/4 mile with constant on and
1/2 mile with instant ka. both around corners and up hills.
V1 is great. haven't had any real highway experience yet.
taking road trip soon.Can't wait

I had a (ok I admit it) not so nice post about something I've been watching go on.

About 30 seconds later it was gone.

Dunno, don't really care I guess. Two wrongs dont make a right.
