Funny but Serious Question

If the V1's rear antenna is much more stronger than the front antenna, then can't we just turn the V1 around, and use a mirror to see what bands are being reported? That way, the rear antenna will act as a front antenna, thus being magic!

Why not just use a concealed display instead of a mirror. The arrows will be backwards from the way they're supposed to be, but that can be remedied by mounting the display upside down.

Then you'll be able to access the mute button as well.

Why not just mount it the way it's supposed to me mounted...... turn the front seat around and drive backwards...........

The V1's front horn is, to my understanding, much more sensitive than the rear. However, as nine_c1 has pointed out, the rear horn has a much wider view than the rear giving the illusion of more range.

Sorry if I'm reading into this post too much lol

Correct.

I've been thinking about this, and I actually wanted to apologize for referencing nine without his original quote. I should have put the whole quote in there or asked his permission before referencing his work. Of course now I can't find his post on this...
