V1: Bypassing X and K Band

What's your take? I only have Ka and Laser on, too many false alert in the city with X and K.

Driving on instinct works best for me. To many tickets on the false security of detectors..

I keep mine on the most sensitive setting at all times and mute the volume. Its mounted right above my rearview, so I can see it light up out of my peripheral vision.

I never pay attention to it unless I'm driving like I need to, and in that case, I slow for anything that appears to be a legitimate threat. Im not willing to risk muting any particular band in the case that a cop was using an old radar. Not worth it IMO.
