    Agreed. This is primarily useful if Ka is a HUGE threat in an area filled with weak X/K noise, and you want Ka to always overpower other signals.


    Don't be surprised if you get a 1-2-3-9-9-9-9 (2 minutes later, see the cop) ramp up though

    Well my fresh out of the box got her first save this morning. Was traveling down a two lane road with a friend over a few rolling hills and suddenly I get a brap of Ka. I slowed down my speed about 45 mph since I was going over a bit (50 mph(40 speed limit) when my friend said Its probably just another false. I looked at him and said dude.......its a cop I BET YOU, as we continue on the road a silver acura on the other side starts flashing his highs at me and sure enough over a bridge sitting at the bottom there was a LEO shooting IO Ka. Man, what a great confidence booster that was. The range was just awesome and more than enough time to get back down.

    oh and RConcheiro, you should get yours soon. Its worth it.

    IMO the V1 gives you the BEST chance at long-range IO saves from a windshield-mount unit.

    BTW, guys a big pointer on fedex and ups. I have made the mistake several times getting 3, 2 and 1 (Express) day shipping and if I would have payed ground gotten my package faster or in the same time.

    Ground Time-in-Transit Maps

    Half the US I get 3 day shipping at the rate of ground. The east coast and surroungind states I get 2 day shipping, From South carolina to Pennsyalvania I get express shipping for ground rates.

    Fedex is the way to go if you expect like 3-6 days because usually they get it their a day earlier.
