Most of the complaints with the V1 come from people who think it "falses" too much. The fact of the matter is, that it is NOT "false alerts" they are hearing, but are REAL radar the V1 is picking up. That includes door openers and building alarm systems. This is part of "situational awareness" and I would certainly rather be alerted to a radar signal from a door opener, than have my detector NOT pick them up...as well as not pick up police radars on the same band. I have turned off X band detection because I know there are no police using X-band in my area. If I were to go on a trip out of state, I would turn it back on. You just never know when some podunk town cop may still have X-band
I do not use my radar detector to speed with. I don't speed
I just like to know where the speed traps ARE. Bottom line...the V1 and every other radar detector are NOT POLICE DETECTORS. Once you understand that, you will be able to appreciate the V1 and it's amazing abilities.
