I live in LA/OC area and have noticed that both of my V1's (non-pop version) do not detect the sign radars for some reason. I see my speed on the sign, so I know the sign is working, but the detector doesn't beep at all. V1 is set to full logic "L" model.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Are the new sign radars on pop mode?
hope its not option #3!!!
Please also make sure you under what big-L mode actually does -- it throws out (does not display) alerts that would be muted in little-L mode. So if you set up strong K-band automuting settings, it could throw out the signal. Also, I don't know if you are keeping X-band enabled, but it could also be that the speed sign runs on a band you have disabled.
Since BOTH V1s don't detect them, I doubt it's option #3. This is very good news for me.
I think it must be the FM-CW. I've seen cops sitting by the board watching the speed that comes on the board. Is there anything to detect FM-CW frequencies?
I suppose there's not much I can do if it's option #2 unless there's some way I can detune my V1 to pick up signals outside of the regular band, which is probably not worth doing or is not advisable.
I'll try taking it out of full logic mode next time to see if it makes any difference. I see more and more of these signs popping up.
Thank you all for your responses.
A cheaper detector? One that's not advanced enough to reject this signal? Police can't issue tickets based on readouts from a FM-CW speed indicator.Quote:

isnt that a sticky?
Yes, but there's also 7+ stickies totaling 500 or so posts, so you can't completely blame the shoot-then-search mentality :)
"Police can't issue tickets based on readouts from a FM-CW speed indicator."
Super cool if they can't cite you! I wonder if this is true from state to state, county to county or city to city. I'll have to look it up.
Exact same thing happened to my V1. The City of Thousand Oaks decided to put up 4 brand new radar signs and not a peep out of the V1. So off it went for a checkup and upgrade (might as well make it worthwhile). Upon return the signs are detected from a _long_ way off, so put me down for option #3.
Radar signs are notorious for getting very off calibration.
yea ive seen them drift off to like 24.03 on my X50. Lol.Quote:
