what is the range?

what should the distance of detection be on a straight highway? also what should range be on on comeing leo around farm roads with dips and turns? both being constant on. also there was a cop on the highway about 150 feet above the road shooting my opposing traffic. the v1 didn't go off untill i was righ next to him. is the v1 not working properly. the detection range on the farm roads was .2-.3 miles. on the highway the detection range was .8 miles. i got the v1 brand new a month ago. should i send my v1 back? thanks in advance

How do you know they are constant on? That's sounds like I'O which is instant on your f'ed if your not under what speed he wants

which I'm sure you was or you would be talkin about the ticket you just got

Not completely true, remember, whenever your V1 picks up just a few blips of K band or Ka Band and goes silent, that means the officer is using I/O.

When on the highways ALWAYS run A mode (all bogeys mode) and if X-band isn't active in your area, just turn X off.

Whenever your detector picks up a few small blips of radar on an open in the middle of no where highway, SLOW DOWN. Most likely I/O.

Yes 100% true he was right on the leo 150ft theres nothing to save you but the luck of being under his mph he wants i'd like to see u fly passed a leo and test this ....

As for the one beep the around the hill and such don't sound like c'o it still sounds like I'o which he thinks is c'o

Yes you are screwed by I/O if you are speeding on an open highway (especially at night) with no other traffic. If you react to the shots before you are the victim, then you are not screwed.

Unless the guy is from Texas and Texas DPS was shooting, I'm sure he had gotten some warning before it.

No he didn't get a beep he said it went off at 150ft which means he was the leader chances are :rolleyes:

the guy was 150 feet litterally up not infront. the others were constant on i would get anywhere from .2 miles to .8 miles of notice lower number on back roads and higher number on highway should i send it back?

You should take the time to re-tell the story slowly, carefully, and with punctuation. I read your original post once and was confused. I still am.

i made the changes. tell me if they help

Sounds normal to me. Most of my encounters are about 1/4 to 3/4mi.

Seeing and listening to most of the V1 users here you would think the V1 would give 2+ mile alerts all day long. However hills, curves and the direction the LEO's is shooting his radar effect your range a lot.

Your terain has alot to do with how much alert distance you get with any RD. Somtimes 1/4mi is increadable range, sometimes 1mi isnt enough.

Give it more time, I am. Hopefully in the next few months ill give a detailed review on my V1.

i live out in a farm area and my v1 has no problem picking up I/O or Q/T on ka x or k band.i do have hills and curve roads with bends out my way. ka can be tricky.i picked up constant on ka once and i got horrible range coming around the corner on 34.7 ka.
