Radar Detectors & Speed Cameras in Australia

Your Valentine 1 has numerous programming options which can be changed. Some of which are visual and cosmetic but there are a number of recommended settings with relation to radar sensitivity that can be optimised for use in Western Australia. A full rundown of how to change the programming options is available here:

The following settings are recommended:
1. X band – OFF
2. K band – ON
3. Ka band – ON
4. LASER – ON
5. Ka Band Sensitivity – More Responsive
6. Ka False Guard – OFF
Features 7 – F all programmable to personal preference.
H. Ku Band – OFF
J. Pop Mode – OFF
u. Euro Mode – ON

Note on Euro Mode
When running the detector in euro mode, the bogey counter will display the letter U/u during normal operation. An upper case u (U) means the detector will alert to Ka Band, K Band and Laser, while running the detector in lower case u (u) means the detector will alert only to Ka Band and Laser. To change between upper and lower case U, simply hold in the control nob for a few seconds during normal operation.

Note on K Band
K Band radar is used by police in Western Australia as outlined above, but this band does share a lot of false alerts. This is because many motion sensors such as automatic doors also use this radar band. K Band alerts should be treated with caution until the source is identified. Alternatively if you wish to have no false alerts and just want to pick-up multanova’s then you can disable K band. The Ka band has virtually no false alerts. The option to turn the K band on or off comes down to personal preference and should be decided after you have driven the routes you commonly take, and see how many false alerts you have received.
