Tirod, you never struck me as a moron before...but you're a moron. The Valentine One's "city" mode (called Logic or Advanced Logic) does not do anything for Ka, only mutes K until it is semi-strong and takes care of X unless it is strong. X is always auto door openers in this state, Ka is always cops, K is usually door openers.
Anyway, you're a damn fool. Cops operate on a different frequency than automatic door openers, and when the strength rises in a particular direction in either K or Ka it gets obvious that a cop is a-comin. It is also obvious that you have never been in a car with a Valentine One...it reports up to 10 bogeys (different radar sources) and the source's direction with the strongest strength blinks. I've never surpassed 8 bogeys and that was only on a huge strip mall...on the highway I rarely get a false alarm passing through cities and in cities it is usually 0 or 1 unless I pass a mall.
