question for V1 users
I just received my V1 and i love it. My question is, what is the best setting for "normal use". I mainly drive in the suburbs on philly. Is there much of a difference b/w settings???
Thanks and the arrows are definatley the way to go!!! |

I know quite a few folks here (and on radardetectors.net) that turn X band off all together. My personal feeling is that I bought the V1 as an insurance and a prophylactic. I rather get false alarms than get a ticket because I turned something off. |

I use the big "L" setting. No matter what you do it will false like crazy, but it'll also save you on occasion as well. I get real annoyed with the falses on mine, but then love it when it saves me a$$.

v1 is really only perfect on the highway, like most radars out there... dont expect to get quality alarms in city like area's.. at least thats what i have seen so far

Right now I'm running "A" so that I can get a feel for what is around me in terms of signals. I've only had it about 2 months, and I haven't been able to collect enough data on what devices various cities are using around here. But I do know where some strong X-band falses are at!
Eventually I'll probably switch modes. What I'd like to do is program the V1 to auto-mute X-band until 4 bars. Some say little "L" does this, but I've heard it also changes the sensitivity. I don't want that, I just want the auto-mute feature until 4 bars.
