    Which cities do you drive in?

    The highway patrol and STL County & City uses quick trigger which an escort detector will not pick up.

    Okk, well U. City, Ladue, Frontenac, T & C and Chesterfield are where frequent laser is at. T & C and Rock Hill are the only places I've seen K but I never go down in South County. Also, be careful of the unmarked chargers in Ladue (grey) and T & C(purple). STL City almost always uses C/O Ka but they have laser. Highway patrol loves 40 in St. Charles. It is daily I/O Ka in St. Charles right after Highway K and VASCAR from an airplane occurs about once a year in Lake St. Louis. All the worthless cities on 70 right before STL City use laser and I/O Ka. If you can tell I live on the new 64. That's pretty much what I can give with without specifics.

    I live in missouri. like long hours at the shooting range. i hate leftovers and i look like uncle fester.

    now that the e-harmony stuff is out of the way...

    seems as though there a lot of useful info here..
    So ..... how are you a sheepdog? You know that's a slang term for a Leo? I know that Eharmony's approach is supposed to be receptive to the Uncle Festers, but this isn't eharmony, and no one here wants to date you. However, there's not much to say in response to "funny how google works out." Btw, long hours at the shooting range, liking leftovers and looking like uncle fester don't exactly take you out of the Leo category.

    Now ... what information are you looking for on the V1? Settings? Version? What version V1 do you have? What settings did you choose?
    Sheepdog is a term used by NRA instructors to describe armed citizens.

    i have 3.816 from what i understand. just checked a couple min ago. and i finally found out how to get into the settings so turning off the x-band might make it more tolerable.

    the mute feature bugs me, i found today that after muted (x band false- helo pad) it never realerted to the LEO running KA (C/O) 300 yds away. it lit up but never sounded. this bothers me as my 95ooi always alerts if another signal is caught.

    maybe something is tweaked in the settings i duno
    You can tweak the settings of the V1 to mute a weak K signal, and if you add a Cheetah C50 or mirror, you can tweak the settings even more. V1 has better sensitivity to the instant on radar.

    As for the mute feature bugging you, how did you mute it? If you muted with the switch on the detector, that would cause the problem you mention. That can also be overcome with the Cheetah. I wouldn't want a V1 without a Cheetah.

    The V1 even if muted should have given a second full alert for the Ka then muted again.

    cant multi quote in here. thats odd.

    i muted it by pushing the mute button on the RD



    and i agree that i should have had some sort of audible warning to the LEO.

    This would not happen if you got all audio from the Cheetah, and muted with the Cheetah. I also don't like pushing the mute button on the RD because of the pressure applied to the suction cups, making it more likely to come off more quickly.
