picked up another used V1... 3.813 (strange)

[Akosikojak]

Can anyone confirm the Bogey counter is perfect on 3.813?

It isn't.

^Agree, I don't think the Bogey Counter is "perfect" on any version of the V1 IMO

It isn't.

I can attest to this as well.

Anyway, the strange thing is that it doesn't pick up K band at all. Could the frayed wires have damaged something internally that it doesn't pick it up? I verified a false at a bank nearby using my X50 and it picks it up full blast. This one is dead quiet in the same place (I didn't run 2 detectors at once).

Don't you get tired of buying non-working V1's? Or do you just buy used V1's for the fun of it?

I wish I could find a decent price V1.

Update: So the v1 came back calibrated today. They charged me $45 for the repair. Software version remained at 3.813 as I had requested. I didn't have much of an opportunity to test it against real threats, but I did a false dry run to see if K and X band actually work..

Everything is good as new, it picked up all of the bank & pharmacy door openers. There's an X band at the local Chilli's that was detected as well. I also checked using my TV remote front and rear laser are working. From the looks of it other than the calibration they replaced the front sticker as it had a small scratch on it. I didn't actually get any explanation, just a small paper saying valentine one repair charge. Everything appears to be solid now. This one was definitely a gem of a find, considering it's not stolen. I sent them the faulty frayed coiled cable which they wanted an additional $12 for a replacement. I said no and used a new black phone cable from walmart. They returned my legacy lighter plug as well. Oh well, I am just happy it works in the end.
