    Default The V1 any good on off-axis detection

    I read here and there about off-axis detection and range of different RD and I have not really pictured how good V1 is doing on that! Can I rely on it and how much from 1 to 10?
    I live in NE there are no many straight road over here and I did not really pay attention when I bought it!

    Thanks

    The V1 is good at everything. BUT, alot depends on what band you are dealing with.

    Read more. Search (& GOL tests) are your friend.

    Some say it is not very good against 35.5, but between both my detectors, I'd say it is pretty dang good.

    35.5 off axis can be iffy.

    It pretty much pwns everything else.

    The V1 is very good off axis, and probably the most consistent with off axis. But there are some RD's that can do better.

    I was only disappointed with the V1 once when it completely missed a weak off axis 35.5 C/O.

    It missed Ka C/O ohoh! I bet this is used here!
    How do you deal with it?To Buy 9500Ci that would be too much for me!

    It was totally random and off axis enough that it didn't concern me, no way to get a ticket that far off axis and weak. But it was a bit disturbing at the time, and never happened again.

    V1 is very good at off-axis K band and 33.8 Ka. It is not so good against off-axis 35.5 Ka.

    If you encounter a lot of off-axis 35.5 Ka (curves) you should consider the Redline.

    it is hard to differ what Ka frequency i encounter with the V1.
