even if they automute it doesnt change anything

Lets not call this feature on the V1 an "automute"

It is really "K Band Muting" because if you set it, it starts at the onset of alerts and can last a maximum of 30 seconds.

Most other brands (Escort, Bel, Whister, Cobra) have the traditional "auto mute" where after a few seconds it will lower the volume of an alert, and on any band.

We should differentiate the two. :wink:

For some reason, i don't know why others call the V1's muting an "automute" feature. :?:

There are circumstances that K band muted volume can last longer than the maximum 30 seconds as the V1 has a reset time of 10 seconds so if a signal is received in K band muting mode and you loose the signal for longer than ten seconds your selected time threshold starts over.
OK I tried it "muted" instead of "automuted" mode sounds funny and conflicts with VR's words in the reprogramming chart making this even more confusing for new people to understand, I am going back to "automuted" I do like your Avatar though. 8)

It is because on the VR reprogramming page it specifically says that "This section allows you to establish a time period of automatic muting at the onset of K-band alerts, in seconds"
It is actually a time delay or like Raven says a K band city mode.

24 Rocks! :wink:

I hear what you are saying I actually wrote a very long detailed description of how it works with every option and I keep editing it but have not sent it yet, when I do it should be a sticky.
Rear K band antenna muted at all times is where people really get scared to cross the line however once you get someone that likes the maximum time threshold or wishes that it was longer to just try it they like it because after breaking any K band threshold and your false hits the rear antenna it's as if your passenger hit the mute button for you.
Like you said the trick in all of this is that when you get serious or out of false territory and want first alert to any K band all you have to do is simply switch to (A) mode.

V! Dave, I'd sure like to see your write-up.....
