after i mute my v1 to an alert, even after i pas the cop and the alert fades out, and another comes up the v1 stays muted and i get no audible alert to the target.
is it a setting that makes it stay muted or is it just the way the v1 works.

Uhhhhh... I never had that happen, how long of a gap was there between detections? I've never muted a Ka alert, only k after 30 sec, I just let it scream.
If you press the mute button twice in a row this will mute the new radars (bogeys) in X,K and Ka. One press means mute but will still alert you to new bogeys with a short beep or brap. I think it needs a space of 10 seconds or so before the mute feature resets back to the main knob volume control setting. If this isn't your problem check this i
Valentine One Specifications.
hope it helps ;)
Once you enter mute mode, the V1 will ONLY sound a DEET-DEET + ONE tone of the new alert for each new incoming alert; until the V1 is silent for about 5 seconds or so, at which point mute mode is exited.... There is no way from the UI to forcibly exit mute mode, so you should keep an ear open for the bogey lock tone whenever you use mute.
im not sure if i ever noticed the lock tone in this situation. im pretty sure i can mute an alert and then it will go away for a few seconds(im pretty sure more then 5-10) and then a new alert will come in but with no sound. ill have to pay attention today and find out for sure.
If you press the mute button once, you should still get lock tones; if you press it twice, all tones are muted.
I don't think xxbillay is talking about a lock tone issue,
it is a reset time issue, here is the deal,
ghz1 has the correct reset time, If you loose a signal while the V1 is muted (manually or auto) the reset time is ten seconds.
In other words if a signal is muted manually in (A) mode and you loose the signal, if it comes back within nine seconds the signal will stay muted.
If you mute a signal that has broken through the K band automute mode then you loose the signal,
if the signal comes back within nine seconds your selected time threshold does not start over.
There are three ways to bring back regular volume.
Cycle through modes until you end up at (A) mode again.
Cycle the power for a reboot.
The quickest way is turning up the muted volume lever.

and when yo say the quickest way is to turn the muted volume level lever...do you mean leave it all the way up, or that if i move it a little bit it will cancel them ute effect?
but again thank you for your help.
There is no way to change the reset time.
Even a new band threat will bogy lock with a new tone then stay muted.
If nothing is done by you no regular volume will reappear until all signals are lost for 10-sec.
I keep my muted volume lever all the way down and if I need to bring back regular volume fast I crank up the muted lever.
ok so i just drove past a hospital where i get 4 k alerts at the same time. i muted it right away at the first k, and i never got a bogey lock tone for any of the others, the number just went up. is this right?
No, you should have recieved lock tone.
Going back to what ghz1 said are you sure you did not press the mute button twice in a row as this will mute the new lock tone.
Is section (A) in the reprogram chart arrow up as default?
Arrow down will kill the bogy lock tone.
What is your software version?
Version 3.825 has a glitch that causes bogy lock tone not to work.
If all this is correct you need to send it in.
I was thinking the same thing earlier today that VR should incorporate a feature that allows you to change the amount of muting times.Quote:

Again it's just an idea.
when did 3.825 come out? because i got mine in december.
and im pretty sure the bogey lock tone is not off because i get it normally when its not muted...i think, ill have to make sure.
edit: just went to check the software, and burnt my hand on the damn v1 it was so hot. but its 3.863 or 3.836 i forget, but if 63 is a real version im sure its that then.
June 05 for 3.825 so you are good on that one.
http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...rformance.html
Go by the hospital and try it again making sure you only mute with one push.
If still no lock tone send it in.
Could be a new glitch on 3.863?
Looks like from another thread 3.864 is the newest version VR will update it for free if you bought it from them.
ok, im going out in a little while so ill be able to try it. ill let you know what happens. and thanks for your help so far.
Woudln't it be great if the FCC would let us have an open source V1 where we can tune the detector to PRECISELY our tastes in every way?
Ok I'm just dreaming now. wake me up :)
ok so here's the deal. i just got home, and i drove past multiple places of falses(hospital 4-5 alerts, main road w/speed sign k and leo X, another shopping center 5 k) i pushed mute once at the hospital, and got no bogey lock tone. when i got the alert for the speed sign down the road i let that go and a block away i got the bogey lock tone for a leo running x. then when i got a k false from another shopping center i muted that and there was an leo at the light a little past it, so i got no bogey lock tone for that.
so my conclusion, all is well when it is no muted, but i get no bogey lock tone when i am muted, and i have the mute lever all the way up.
anyone
I'd say it's busted. Does the bogey counter look right?Quote:

what are my options. if i send it in to get updated to 3.864 from 863 will that be done free of charge because it is not a year old yet? and could that possible fix my problem?
I read this entire post and have questions for you ..
Under programming settings setting capitol A and number 8 what is it set at up Arrow or down?
I would set your programming for options 8 and capitol A both up arrow and retest with the muted control knob in the 12-3 oclock position.
X2 I told xxbillay to do this here.Quote:

Exactly what I was thinking Freebird, Thanks for bringing it up again as he probably did not check it.
sorry about that guys, and dave sorry, i didnt even realise you told me to check that setting. anyway.Quote:

tomorrow i am going to check my settings and report what i get. i think ill go through everything just to see.

Theres the problen right there. OPTION 8 ARROW NEEDS TO BE UP!
Option 8 is volume when u press the mute button, complete mute no sound at all or mute to level of control lever . If you have 8 down you get no volume to the current alert or any other alerts while in mute mode. this will go back to normal about 10 seconds after all signals are gone.
if you set 8 arrow up then when you press mute it will go to the muted control lever volume and option A will make any new bogeys Lock tones come in at normal volume or control lever volume depending on the A setting. A up will make the new bogey lock tone come in at normal volume, A down will make the new bogeys come in at control lever volume or since you are in a muted mode they will come in at the same volume. I would set 8 up and A up also .
Give it a try 8 arrow up A arrow up. please share your findings, im sure this will fix the problem.
Another point I want to make is with 8 arrow up when you press mute the volume will go to where you have the control lever position, so I feel the best position for the lever is between 12 and 3 oclock. With A arrow up any new bogey lock tones will come in at where you have your volume knob position.
thank you so much, that did it. i always thought i worked fine, but i never changed the setting so i guess i just never payed attention. owell now it works.
but 1 thing. if i have the knob all the way up and the know turned all the way down...an alert i mute will be as quiet as possible but bogey lock will be full volume correct?
Thats correct with A and 8 up and the lever all the way silent or turned to the far left, when you press the mute button the volume will go silent but any bogeys will come in at deet deet full volume (or the position of the volume knob) and i believe the unit will stay muted after the deet deet from the new bogeys...
