22. the small skipped portion is still scanned 34 770 34 774 7 Until I program custom sweeps there won t be any info on the Alerts tab and it will just be a big display Answer You do not need to program custom sweeps to have the alerts on the Alert tab Custom sweeps are segmenting the V1 Ka band the alerts reporting has nothing to do with it To be clear if you have a V1 with ESP you should have alerts in alert tab 8 When making Custom sweeps do I need to fill all 6 slots Answer The more sweeps you have the better it will perform on that band but there is a curve For example Person X runs 5 out of 6 sweeps on 34 7 because that s his main threat but then another may want to split it up with 3 for 35 5 and 3 for 34 7 since they see both However in testing with person X his V1 performs better than the other V1 with 5 34 7 sweeps so over Sweeping won t necessarily increase your sensitivity by much and it depends on your unit manufacturer variance You don t need all sweeps filled with something just the minimum 2 for 34 7 and one for 35 5 POP already covers 33 8 The V1 is considered a little weak on 35 5 band so an extra sweep there won t hurt unless you never see that frequency band The shorter the sweep the faster it can sweep that specific sweep and the faster it can get to other sweeps The smaller tighter the sweep the faster it can get through Logic Its debated whether less is more since V1 is free to sweep again
23. the total number of lockouts but only from those 7 miles around you This not a choice but now hard coded in 14 Auto lockouts with strength parameters measures between front and rear horns Each setting is set to allow a measured Delta signal difference between front and rear horns before the signal is rejected and treated as a different signal That difference is less for the strong setting 15 Hardwired Savvy e Savvy settings are pushed to Hardwired Savvy itself and not to V1 e Savvy keeps the settings in it s memory as long as it is plugged to the ODB port and your car battery is not dead e The app knows about Savvy presence by requesting from Savvy it s serial number note that query is asynchronous this means you ask and eventually get a response from Savvy up to 0 5 seconds later also when there is no Savvy connected or VIC not connected you never get any answer Because of this the app assumes you do not have a Hardwired Savvy unless an answer is received then it queries the Savvy to know the current savvy settings e The Savvy sends request to Mute Unmute to the V1 directly it means that the app is not aware of the conversation between Savvy and V1 50 Thoughts about how to quiet V1 with YaV1 V1 can be set up to have max sensitivity and still be considerably quiet in the city 1 Custom sweeps wipe out some of the falses by not even scanning parts of the band where leo doesn t run anyway and increases

78. when done with the sweeps assigned versus multiple sweeps of the same band The best way to think about it is time The V1 will focus on the job you give it One opinion is On bands you want to sweep wide and have multiple sweeps you may not want to go wide except on one of the sweeps which gives you insurance in those very extreme areas of the band where a rogue radar may be why waste performance and 43 resources scanning intensely every moment in an area you rarely or may never see You may consider duplicating or even tripling coverage where leo frequents on that same band 9 So if 33 8 is automatically covered by Custom Sweeps that means lots of junk detector falses as I remember most are 33 6 or 7 Can there be a custom very narrow 33 8 sweep made Answer No you re stuck sweeping the whole band however you can do in the box muting for any sections you deem as safe generally above and below 33 8 Ka 33 7 33 9 Ghz till you bump the area of 34 7 band which starts around 34 6 allowing for 100 Mhz variance for out of tune guns Sweeps determine what actually gets scanned mutes determine what you hear 10 Are there sweeps for laser I can deal with the occasional false K band but the false laser is REAL annoying because it is used in my area I jam on the brakes and it can be a dangerous scenario waiting to happen Answer There is no sweep for laser and no freq readout for laser but you can
