Long story short...
V1 stolen in August...
Ordered an Escort 9500ix and although a great detector -> returned...
FedEx showed up @ work today with my new V1 and clam shell.
Version 3.872
LOVE THE ARROWS!!!
Made me aware of a LEO using IO K-band on the way home today way in advance.
:)
Well, Version 3.871 wasn't out for very long!Quote:

Good luck with your new RD..
Sorry for OT, what does ghost mean to RD?
Thanks
Multiple bogies count on a single, older V1's are very accurate, problems started around POP upgrade in 94'
yup,i also think that pop has something to do with the ghosting..Quote:

I think the introduction to pop has something to do with all this ghosting!!Quote:

My old non-POP (3.813?) didn't ghost at all, my 3.826 didn't ghost much, and my 2-week-old 3.872 (later Euro/Temp-comp/Self-check hardware) has NOT ghosted at all. I realize that others have complained about serious ghosting issues with some versions, but I never owned any of those and can't comment.
Thank you :) Even my g/f likes it better than the others. She told me, "for what it's worth... I like this one better. I like the arrows." :)Quote:

Is this what ghosting is (1 to 2 then back to 1)?
So far, no ghosting at all on real LEOs for my 3.872. I did get a bogey count of 3 (all Ka) when just in front of a Cobra user with my V1's Ka-Guard (option 6) turned OFF, but I imagine that the Cobra could have been polluting on 3 different frequencies.
