Happya$$'s V1 Settings Recommendation

[happya$$]

Ok guys if you want maximum satisfaction out of your V1 these are the settings that I found work best:

Option 5 down arrow = Ka more responsive NOT more sensitive like some people think

Option A down arrow = mutes the bogey lock tone which is especially useful in a plaza

Option J down arrow = POP off

Advanced Logic mode "L"

I believe that if you follow the above settings you will LOVE your V1.

As a newbie I appreciate the advice. I am still trying to figure out how to optimize my V1 usage.

Now if only I could stop it from J'ing out real threats. :roll:

only if your in a city area do i suggest you do this.

if your on a clear interstate, not having this option enabled can be trouble as you would be busy looking for the leo that caused the first alert and not see the 2nd bogey appear, thats why imo, you need this option on in these areas b/c the bogey lock tone would alert you to the second leo. (only in these double trap situations, which would mostly occur on the open interstates)

Before I got a V1 I almost got a ticket because of this circumstance more than once. Got to love the bogy lock tone it's your friend.

Honestly, that is the ONLY setting I change on mine. I think you're fine, unless you have the muted volume level set to absolute zero and you completely ignore the display too...

i guess thats why i need it cause i do have my muted volume down to zero, that was pretty good prof. jim :wink:

and when i get an alert i do have a tendency to start rubber necking around looking for the leo, pretty much having me ignore the display. again you hit that one on the nose. :D

[V1 Dave]

X2 again, we're such a happy family! :D
Well, you see there is a compromise going on, TeamQuack and I use section (7) and you two don't so we don't get the bogy lock tone or regular volume for low strength K band alerts.

[carlito]

man no bogey lock tone sound :( i am on option 7 just on a 10 seond mute alert and i am all ready thinking about truning it back on like factory sett for some reason i like to know everthing what the v1 is tring to say to me big L mode is good with x band trun on or do what every you think lttle l is working fine for me know:lol:

What is wrong with just a double tap of the mute when in the city? That will mute the bogey tone.

Steve,
By havng pop off your loosing some K band advantage when used in the instant on mode. Refer to Mike B.'s test results.

Me and Jim will have to test this out. Even if I am losing SOME K band instant on range the benefits of silence outweigh the disadvantage

HappyA$$, doesn't Ohio have some POP mode radar guns? Mk

Steve,
Are you getting that much Ka falsing with pop on? I have tried both pop on and off and I really don't see much of a diffenence of falsing between both on or off. This is why I choose to have pop on, more instant on advantage to K and I am not getting much Ka falsing for me to turn it off also here in PA we don't have any pop so the main reason I keep it on is because of the instant on K benefit.

how do you reset the v1?

[carlito]

how do you reset the v1?u have to do it on your own or send to vr there is not factory resett :x :)

[Crazy Eddie]

I think I'll try the Ka boost (v1 reaction only). I got an alert on the freeway, weak ka, & then 2 miles later someone ahead of me gets hit with instant on ka. It was around a big gradual turn. The second time the signal went off the V1 wasn't going nuts like it does on K, in fact there were probably only 2-3 lights on the strength meter when he was .3 miles away. first alert was maybe 1 led on strength meter.

Another experience I had was rounding a corner & a leo was parked in some bushes - my rx65 alerted with a very low ka signal (believe it was ka) & I then I noticed him. From my experiences I assume that the modulation can be turned up or down on Ka guns in order to strengthen/weaken the signal. I guess that's a good thing in the city......

I went to program the V1 on Sunday but only got so far to check my sw version, I don't wanna mess anything up.

when you get a Ka alert, that would give you one dot alert on the signal strength meter, :arrow: with option 5 enabled it will give you like 3 or 4 dots rather than 1. its good since Ka range isn't as good as k and x and will keep you more on your toes. i did this today myself and i liked it alot better.

k thanks that helps.

HappyA$$, I decided I would turn off POP mode on my V1 for a couple of days. I haven't noticed much different except for the certain spot I go by where I get a ka false, w/ pop off I also get a k false, w/ pop on I don't get the k false. This, I do not understand folks. I will wait until this weekend and turn POP back on. Mk

Try it out for a few weeks with POP off

why doesnt option G work? I have it on but it still alerts K from rear

[V1 Dave]

Did you enable section (7)? Mine you don't have to but I believe newer units need (7) enabled.
Is your mute lever all the way down?
(G) is only supposed to eliminate regular volume on the rear, the muted volume lever will still control muted rear volume in logic mode.
All K band delay's are disabled in (A) mode.
Now does it work?

[crazyVOLVOrob]

why doesnt option G work? I have it on but it still alerts K from rearIt only mutes them in big' L' mode in little 'L' is alerts them at muted volume

If your V1 isn't doing that you might want to talk to VR
