Well you are agreeing with me and I'm actually agreeing with you. Here is why.

I also called Valentine. They recommended disabling POP which I could have done BUT in NJ they use it so doing that renders it useless when you get hit by POP in this state. I asked them if there was any other option or filtering that the V1 could do but there indeed was no option.

So if you are in an area that does not use POP at all then I agree, go ahead and disable "pop" and enjoy your V1. If not though (like me) the V1 is a paperweight and the Passport Max is the best option to properly receive all bands with selective filtering. My lane departure warning doesn't even set off the Max due to its ability to discern between the police POP band and the cars lane departure warning band
