    Default people in the uk with v1 a question about falses..

    i have just got mine today, and it seems to be working rather well but i've found a problem...

    There are traffic light sensors which operate of ka band and also k and ku.

    i've picked up k door sensors, but even with ka false guard off the ka traffic light sensors dont make the v1 beep, although i have got a ka false when i went to the petrol station...

    so the thing is is the v1 working correctly the v1 scans from 33 - 36ghz and my snooper had 1000mhz extra scan width so it would scan 1ghz + and - on every band! so i'm thinking that theses traffic light radars are out of the v1's scanning range......

    anyone else in the uk have you had this problem...

    the light sensors look like theses...

    i've seen that before..... it doesnt say if it detects the traffic sensors...

    i'm use to detectors picking them up, its rather strange driving passed on not getting an alert as it was a way of me knowing that its working...

    the v1 has picked up k and ka band door sensor falses..

    and i drove passed the same spot this moring at 5:30am to see if i can get another false ka and i did aswell as k's!

    so i have reason to believe the v1 is working and the sensors are fm cw ones!
