    Default Ordered a V1 Today

    I have done all the research possible. I still think my 9500ix is likely best for my daily driving, which is Houston metro. However, I can't ever really know for certain which I prefer without trying the V1. If too sensitive ("chatty") for city driving, I will likely still keep the V1 for my wife's SUV (which we use for driving trips).

    Good move. You won't like it in downtown Houston but it will perform quite well on the open highway. For use around Houston, I run the following settings:

    -A mode
    -X band off
    -POP off

    Thanks, I will use those settings. I was definitely planning on disabling X band. Unfortunately, I work downtown and also drive pass the HPD headquarters on Travis everyday. Hopefully, with those settings falses are tolerable. Otherwise, I can always just use it for open highway on weekends. I've otherwise been happy with 9500ix, but thought the V1 would be a worthwhile addition to the arsenal.

    After getting used to a 9500ix, I'm betting the V1 is going to drive you bananas in the city.

    It probably will. I really bought for trips in my wife's car, but I just want to give it a spin in the city. I will keep the 9500ix in my car for daily drive.

    Not if he only uses it for Ka band. Then he'll see all the QT he's been missing with the 9500!

    You mean run the V1 and 9500ix together?
