So I had the chance to actually take my new V1G2 on a trip from Austin to Fort Worth this weekend. I've only had it for exactly a week now and this was the first trip out of the city for it.
I have a couple of questions regarding how the detector was acting that I was hoping someone could help shed some light on, especially since this is the first device I've owned.
I have a couple of questions regarding how the detector was acting that I was hoping someone could help shed some light on, especially since this is the first device I've owned.
- Do some big rigs have a form of KA BSM? I noticed when I ran up next to a couple I would get a weak KA signal and all the arrows on the detector would start to go on and off.
- I did not run into many cops on the trip (which was surprising), but the few that I did come across that were running radar I noticed the V1 would ramp up decently but then after I passed them it would come down a level and then stop alerting. Is this because the cop was only running radar in one direction?
- I was running the detector in "A" mode on the highway and I noticed a ton of K band alerts mostly when we would come through a city or traffic got bad. I am assuming that these were BSM since they were weak and were lighting up all the arrows on the detector. Is there a way to try and distinguish certain K band frequencies to know if it could be a hidden officer?
- Can I mostly ignore X band hits (I drive in central TX mostly)?
