How to reprogram V1 radar detector.....If you really want to.

To activate KU band even though not applicable in the USA. How can one tell in the United Kingdom the audio and visual signals of KU band since V1 units have only X, K, Ka, L?

The decimal point LED that is to the lower right of the Bogey Counter numeral is the band identification for Ku-band. The sound for Ku-band is the same as K-band. After reprogrammed V1s with serial numbers ending in 0600 or higher (software version 3.619+), a flashing red LED just to the right of the Bogey Counter after the lamps-on test, but before the Mode indicator appears indicates that Ku coverage has been activated.

Also to reprogram to enable in an area with frequent K-band false alarms and other desired features.

Information on how to do that and much more is on Valentine One's website. I have my Ka sensitivity turned up which is also discussed on the site.

Just wondering: If KU isn't used in US, why do you want it on?

When you reprogram, does it take effect in all the sensitivity level settings (A, l, L)?

To WaarrEagle: no specific audio and visual information on the webpage about KU band. It just mentioned how you tell when KU band is activated.

To ThurzNite: this is for those who travel outside the USA where KU band is present....don't want to activate and deactivate type of thing. Please see the Valentine1 link for all of the sensitivity level settings.

Warning: Follow the Valentine1 link carefully, you might inadvertently disable a protection you really need. So think carefully before changing the factory settings.
