First thing to do is get back on the V1 web site and download the instructions on how to completely turn off X band, which is where I found a LOT of false alarms were coming from.
[Can your new overpriced detector without arrows do that, Jeph?]
The only police departments still using X band are located in Ohio and you're in SoCal.
When I drive in SoCal with my V1, I find that they're shooting K, Ka, and most alarmingly, Laser (most dangerous and surprising if you are not in heavy traffic).
Of course, you're rarely
not in heavy traffic in SoCal, so I guess that's kind of a non-issue
