Valentine One V1 Vertical mount bracket / Horisontal mount bracket vs. K band radar

[clubtc05]

mmmm I never thought vertical mount would pick up a radar better

The perceptional distance depends on the strength of the radar.

These radar units are usually polarized vertically, accordingly the detector should be located vertically also. This way better result can be reached, the detector can detect the radar units from long distances and drivers have more time to brake and slow down. At the same time the amount of incorrect alerts could be reduced compared to the horizontal placement.

The main point of the vertical mount is to be able to sense / detect those radar units more effectively what work with band X, K, Ka, Ku and operate on low transmitting performance.

Hi, Great Job on the video,

Were these findings consistent, as in did the vetically mounting of the V1 continue to give better warnings?

It's unusual to see such a huge difference in detection, maybe the LEO turned around? K Band radar is a circular shaped wave of frequency, imaging a cone so its unsual to see a huge difference like this. Vertically mounting the V1 can decrease ' off axis' detection, but there shouldnt be a difference in a setup like this.
