my 3.826 is more quiet(false wise) than my v995
Yeah i agree with the sound thing. I have both and the Rx alerts for Laser and Ka really make you wake up and take notice. Prefer the rx for that, but they are 2 very different detectors as the v1 has things that I like. Usually the same things that are pointed out on the forum often. At the end of the day if you own either you are at the top end and they both do a great job!
Put in on L=Advanced Logic Mode and you will be VERY happy.
I plan on doing more testing today on my .826 before I post my feelings about it... but one thing I will say:
I have always found the tones on my X50 (When set to 'LOUD') much more distinguishable then the (my friends and now my) V1 tones... not 'louder'... but much more distinguishing between each band.
Does anyone remember way back... wasn't the original Escort in the early 80's the first detector to use different tones to differentiate between X and K band radar? And I think it too used 'beep' vs 'brap' sounds. A bit of V1's daddy shows in its voice.Quote:

It's when you get to where you're not downtown or driving past a bunch of stores that the V1 will shine and you'll really see what it can do. Remember that unfortunately, some non-police sources of signals are in the same bands and there's no way to distinguish them from genuine LEO radar / lidar.Quote:

At least the V1's arrows will help you eliminate many of them as being of no concern.
I'm confused....
I read the complaints about excessive "falsing" with the V1, but then read that it is almost eliminated with the latest software version upgrade.
Is it true ? Are most of these complaints from people with a slightly older version, or has the number/amount of false indications merely "reduced" with the latest version ?

Tim, something you need to remember is that some "falses" are not really fair to V1. What I mean is a lot of motion sensors are operated on K band. So when I drive by my local Kroger Grocery store and it goes off, it's telling me it detects K band. Which it does. How can you blame V1 for that? It's doing what it's suppose to do. I will be the first one to admit that with X band on you will go nuts. But a number of us board members have discussed what should and shouldn't be a "false". Some of us propossed saying "non LEO (law enforcement officer) source.Quote:

Crazy Rob has a lot of experinece Tim. Maybe you are expecting too much, like I did with my RX 65.. :(Quote:
