    Default little disappointed

    used rx65 for few days but it wasnt something like what i expected so i ordered a V1,
    40mile drive disappointments:
    - 2 laser falses
    - picks up other detectors with either K or X band warning...... in A mode
    - takes some time to get used to
    - in the city it goes nuts 5 boges around stores
    - little hard to distinguish which band it is at night for new owners
    - sound tones were better in rx

    gonna take it to work tmw 100miles both ways we ll see how it performs, all i know is in few mintues X band is gonna be turned off its driving me nuts.... dont think i got any x band cops in chicago and sub,

    It is a change. Give it some time to see how you like it.

    Welcome to the board Adrian. I had a 65 also, sold it for a V1. If you shut X off you will be a whole lot happier man!! That's the way I run mine. I drive from Bloomington to Chicago every week, 0 tickets...even had laser hits. 8)

    Dave! I have a friend that goes to bloomington, and i've been there on several occations.

    Carmel (a bit north) uses X. I was on my way to a hockey game when I found this one out

    I never thought ANYONE would ever say that about the RX, especially in comparison to the V1!

    i used to own a bel express 925. fortunately, beltronics uses the same band tone across all of their products...but i really must say, beltronics does a better job distinguishing Ka from K.

    Braap vs Braa-Braap.


    i'm in chicago. i've turned off X and POP. now all i need to worry about is K falsing.
    i also have Ku turned on at the moment. i'm hoping i could catch a glimpse of a Ku false and figure out what the band sounds like..

    Run it in Logic mode---little l

    It will tame the X band some and still give you good range if you encounter a real X

    It sounds exactly like K band only difference is visual as the dismal blinks.
    Most of us have agreed that Ku should sound like a double X band, like Ka is a double K band.

    My roommate hates the sounds of my v995 same as rx65...but he loves the V1 tones....He actually likes this detector versus my v995 the arrows are a feature he loves. He can tell where the cop is
