Reprogramming V1

[JhnZ71]

I followed alot of the steps for reprogramming from the sticky above. I was wondering if you can set up a V1 like this

A = Maximum Sensitivity, All Bands on

(Little)L = X off, High sensitivity on K, Max Sensitivity Ka, Ku, and Laser

(Big)L = X off, reduced K sensivity, Max Sensivity on Ka, Ku, Laser

Also, Is there a way to turn up Ka sensitivity? Without turning off Pop?

btw, I have V3.861

Yes you can except for less sensitivity to K band in big L mode. You can only mute K in little L and big L modes for a max of 30 sec. and mute rear K band but sensitivity is not reduced in K band. This does significantly reduce annoying K band alerts from auto door openers. You cannot increase sensitivity in Ka band as far as performance goes but you can increase ramp up with LED's in Ka band alerts.

Make sure you leave Ku off because it isn't used in the U.S.

Yeah x2, Don't turn on Ku if you are in the US.

Actually no....

Reason A, l , or L . If you turn off a band in programming, it is OFF for all logic modes. So if you turn X band off, then it is off for the A, l ,and L mode. As for K band sensitivity being reduced, not really. When you play with b, c, and d settings. You can adjust the threshold of when the unit will alert in "seconds" (5-30) as to when it will alert. In "l" the unit will alert where the mute volume is set, and "L" the unit will do nothing (quiet no visual) till it hits that threshold, then full volume alert. Also keep in mind that it will alert if it exceeds a threhold in bars (4 or 6) full alert.

I have V3.861 and I turned off X band and it still falses that is wierd. I like what I have done with programming following the sticky.

What programming settings do you guys use and what do they do?

I have V3.861 and I turned off X band and it still falses that is wierd.

This seems to be a problem with the 3.861 version even if X band is enabled.

just intalled a new V1. First RD. Would you recomend I leave it in A, l or L mode. I understand the differences. I drive in San Diego and Orange County CA.

Also, I passed a cople of LOE's yesterday and the V1 did nothing - is this because the LOE didn't have his radar on?

I know the V1 is working as I got other readings from Laser.

Hi Nobba,

I am near where you drive (more towards temecula though) and I have my V1 set to only report KA and Laser. I have X and K off as it isn't used by the CHP's or LEO's (not LOE's ) Typically only the CHP will be the ones with radar capabilities and even then sometimes they have them off. Sheriffs or LEO's will not or do not even have a radar unit.

Of course I have mine in "A" mode as no filtering on X band is needed or K band auto-muting either. Those are my settings so use them if you will.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ace Racer, actually you're very near me, I live in Fallbrook and drive to Temecular oftern. I want to go out and 'carefully' test my V1 today, maybe find one of those speed signes - do you have any recomendations on how to test and make sure the V1 is working?

BTW, be carefull driving the 76 east around oceanside, LOADS of cops firing lasers. Their favorite stretch is from el camino to the i5.
