    I got 2.3 today on 3 brand new FHPs, and then about 20 miles later I got about .3 miles. It varies wildly based on the setup and conditions.

    wow. sounds good. my 1.5 miles was on freeway with quite a grade up hill in front. so i figure i could have gotten a lot more range. i just moved recently moved my V1 from way high (behind tint) to right below rear view mirror...see how this works out.

    It is hard to pinpoint an average range since terrain is a big factor and the Ka band gun you are trying to pick up. The Talon, for example, is more difficult to pick up than a Golden Eagle Ka, and both radars are from Kustom.

    If were talking about a straight road with a few hills, then I get 1.8 to 2 miles with a Stalker Dual Ka band radar. My V1 seems to get better range on 33.8 GHz but I have not done any measurement of distance with that frequency.

    The V1 has impressed me with some instant on and from the rear encounters... http://www.radardetector.net/Instant...ter-11345t.php

    With steady state I have gotten 1-2 mile range that I can validate. But terrain and radar angle to target have alot to do with any radar max pick up range.
