Junk K =TMF2

[GTO_04]

The one thing I would like to see not only with the V1, but with Escort/Bel products is the ability to enable and disable TSR (for filtering out these obnoxious systems) like one would do with city modes. There are certainly times on the roadways where one doesn't encounter these things much. So being able to quickly disable and enable the filter would be great instead of relying to go into programming modes to do it.

Exactly! That is something that can be accomplished with a firmware upgrade. As it stands now its the LAST item in the menu. Why not make it first? Or better yet, offer an option to make the mute button toggle TMF(2) off and on?

TM2 was a flash in history, it does not work on all autos, not good. I agree with VG, is it just a promo (name) move or something fix'n to be added again shortly? Now they can use software revs to add/change this filtering delay with algs if needed (how about a 3 second delay in the future if the ramp-up is a certain way?). To call it a "TMF and junk K fighter", ok for the future........ Another thing, MV is (was) getting away from the V1's motto, but maybe he got tired of the false alarms like we have? Did MV give in or convert over to the Escort's thinking? The other thread has some truth in it, "the V1 is useless" in certain areas with K POP and K I/O where I drive......

I would say their hand was forced by the changing climate. It's one thing to have a stationery door opener CO false source of K band, it's entirely a different situation to have:

1) traffic flow sensors which operate like stationery I/O of K (or X)
2) moving K-band sources coming from these nanny systems, that could appear like a genuine cruiser utilizing K

Late to the party as they were with POP but when they finally get there tend to have put the most thought and execution into it

@gto_04, from what we're discovering with your assistance, there is a difference between those units that have TMF2 and those with TMF2 AND Junk-K. Thus, there are .894 units with TMF2 that do NOT have the Junk-K filter. Its all based on serial number as you pointed out: Valentine Research Junk-K Fighter | Valentine One | Radar Detectors
