    Quality work, Bob!

    I've been outlining a similar piece myself. I guess I can stop working on it now.

    Seeing how I'm going to be reviewing the Cobra 9960g for this forum soon, I was thinking about the same thing a few days ago. I completely agree with you.

    Guys, I added two videos perfectly demonstrating the value of a quick peak-metering system (versus slow) at the end of the article: Veil Guy: What Makes the Best Radar Detector, the Best?

    They're both pretty short videos, but really effective, I believe, in driving home the point about the importance of a good metering system.

    First off, I just want to say incredible job! I think if you and jimbonzzz collaborated, you guys could probably build a time machine together.

    So would you say that enabling the "Ka more responsive" feature on the V1 makes the signal strength meter behave more digitally(square) and less like the sinuous(analogue) wave pattern?
