Any benefits to POP mode "on"?

I tried searching, but "POP" is apparently too short a word to search for on this forum . I did read in one of the stickies that turning POP off "supposedly" increases range ... is that verified to be true?

I turned POP on earlier this week because I've never gotten a J on this V1, and I was thinking that turning POP on would J out some of the Ka falses I get from having Ka guard off. I still have not gotten any J's, but did notice a dramatic increase in K band alerts, double what they were in some spots compared to having POP off.

I don't have to worry about actual POP guns here in SoCal, so I'm wondering if POP off really increases range, or is it useless and just causes more falses (almost seems like ghosting in some spots there are so many more alerts)?

It gives you slightly better performance on the POP bands (K band and 33.8) and helps with QT as well. With it on you may experiance more falses though, so it's best to do your own 'test.'

Yep with it on My detector is more sensitive to K-band slightly and supposidly better with 33.8 but I never run into 33.8. I perfer to keep POP-off so when I get a Ka-Alert I know it is for real. Much like when my v995 alerts Ka

Thanks, yeah I have to turn POP back off. I had six K alerts at once a little while ago on the 55 in the rain, including a full lock. I can't deal with 6 bogey's ... I suppose there could have been cops off the freeway somewhere shooting K ... sure didn't see any on the freeway.
