Question for Valentine 1 owners
Did you guys reprogram your detectors to ignore k and x bands? I live in Cali and every time i see a K band it ends up being nothing. Almost every time I get a Ka I end up seeing a cop. What the hell is the point of k or x band? I hear about "bogeys" and such from valentine, but most of the time a bogey is an f'n automatic door. Has anyone ever run into a K-band that was actually a cop?
Works like a charm...

If I were you I'd remove the X band all together. K band is not widely used for speed enforcement. You will find it in smaller towns. They get the remnants of yesteryear. Ka would most certainly be something to worry about.

yeah after a few days of driving around with only ka and laser on, I like my v1 much more. It was driving me crazy when it beeped every minute or so to alert me about A F@#$in door. Now whenever it goes off, i know its actually important.

Keep The K Band!!!!!!!!!
Ka is always a cop.
K is sometimes a door but i have seen on more than one occasion it being a staionary radar detector. The ones they set up that are trailers. Also some photo radars at stop lights sometimes sets off my K band too. I have seen it more than once. Keep the K band!!!!!!! X band is definately a joke. I drive a lot!!! And I know my V1 pretty well.
Also K band alerts me from those construction signs and the solar emergency phones on the side of the freeway. Annoying beeps????? Or $$$$$$ for a ticket. I can live with beeps. Its well worth it to me!!!!
