K band ......... moving and stationary radar; can be used in “Instant-on” mode. Ka band ........ widest of the radar bands; moving orstationary; can be used in “Instant-on.” Photo radar .....K or Ka band; stationary only. POP Protection . . covers POP mode on two bands— specifically the MPH Industries modelsBEE III and Enforcer on both K and Ka;moving or stationary. Ku band ........ not used in U.S.; standard equipment on all V1s, but not activated. To activate,see: http://www.valentine1.com/lab/ MikesLabRpt3.asp . Euro Mode ...... narrows and intensifies radar coverage,and limits it to K and the sections of Kabands used in Europe for photo radar.Standard equipment on all V1s, but notactivated. To activate, see: http://www. valentine1.com/lab/MikesLabRpt3.asp . Finds all lasers Valentine One covers all traffic laser. In the U.S., theoperating wavelength of traffic laser is 820-950 nanometers. Welcome to Full CoverageDear Owner:When an interest lasts for a year to two, that’s ahobby. When it goes on non-stop for more than 25years, I think it fairly can be called an obsession.My wife says I’m obsessed with traffic radar. She’s right. Radar is out there, skulking(Stalking?) around, hiding in the bushes. And Ireally get a kick out of finding it, finding it first,finding it every time. This is a civilian version of what the military calls Electronic WarfareSupport Measures (ESM). I find it compelling, I can’t help it.I’m pretty good at it too. That makes it more fun.Back in the seventies, Jim Jaeger and I invented Escort. It was the best radar finder on the market for a longtime and I enjoyed running the company that made it,Cincinnati Microwave.Since starting my own company, we’ve made otherproducts and earned a reputation for innovation. Butnothing is quite as much fun for me as finding radar. V1’s legendary reputation is built on what’s inside. Themagnesium case still looks identical to the original, but theelectronics inside have been completely changed time andtime again. I believe in continuous improvement. That’swhat keeps V1’s performance ahead of the pack. I don’tbelieve in planned obsolescence. Whenever we make aperformance breakthrough, we offer it to past customers as an upgrade. Even the first V1 can be updated to today’sprotection. See www.valentine1.com for details; you’ll also find a wide variety of radar and laser information notavailable anywhere else.I hope you enjoy your Valentine One as much as I enjoymine. Thanks for trusting me to find radar and laser for you.Sincerely,Michael D. ValentinePresident

FCC ID QJAV18A REPORT #: V:\V\ValentineResearch_QJA\230AUT6\230AUT6TestReport.doc Page 2 of 5 TEST PROCEDURES GENERAL: This report shall NOT be reproduced except in full without the written approval of TIMCO ENGINEERING, INC. RADIATION INTERFERENCE: Testing was done in accordance with ANSI C63.4-2003. Section 15.35(b) specifies the use of an average detector in this band. In addition, the peak level of an emission shall not exceed the average limit by more than 20 dB using a minimum Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) of 1 MHz and minimum Video Bandwidth (VBW) OF 1 MHz. The following procedure is designed to determine if there are any spurious emissions from the local oscillator within the band of interest along with any additional spurious emissions caused by other circuitry within the device. 1) Determine the frequency of the peak emission: Start Frequency 11.7 GHz Stop Frequency 12.2 GHz RBW equal to or greater than 1 MHz VBW equal to or greater than 1 MHz Detector Function Peak Maximize the emissions with regards to device orientation, antenna polarization, and antenna height. Sweep the band using Max Hold for a minimum of 2 minutes. Record this frequency for measuring the peak emission. In addition record the frequency of other spurious emissions noted. 2) Determine the peak level of the emission: Center Frequency Set to the frequency determined in Step 1 RBW Equal to or greater than 1 MHz VBW Equal to or greater than 1 MHz Detector Function Peak Measure the value of the peak emission using Max Hold for a minimum of 2 minutes. This can be done at zero span or a frequency span where the analyzer does not show a “Measurement Uncalibrated” message. Record the peak value. If the peak measurement is compliant with the average limit an average measurement is not necessary. If the peak value exceeds the average limit by less than 20 dB proceed to Step 3. 3) Determine the average level of the emission: Center Frequency Set to the frequency determined in Step 1 Span Zero RBW Equal to or greater than 1 MHz VBW Equal to or greater than 10 Hz Detector Function Peak This measurement uses video averaging and must be done in Linear mode. The analyzer Reference Level is adjusted so that a signal is clearly visible on the screen. Measure the value of the emission using Max Hold for a minimum of 2 minutes. Record this as the average value. Step 2 and Step 3 should be repeated for other spurious emissions. The ambient temperature of the UUT was 80ºF with a humidity of 70%.

FCC ID QJAV18A REPORT #: V:\V\ValentineResearch_QJA\230AUT6\230AUT6TestReport.doc Page 3 of 5 TEST PROCEDURES CONTINUED FORMULA OF CONVERSION FACTORS: The Field Strength at 3m was established by adding the meter reading of the spectrum analyzer (which is set to read in units of dBuV) to the antenna correction factor supplied by the antenna manufacturer. The antenna correction factors are stated in terms of dB. The gain of the Preselector was accounted for in the Spectrum Analyzer Meter Reading. Example: Freq (MHz) METER READING + ACF = FS 33 20 dBuV + 10.36 dB = 30.36 dBuV/m @ 3m ANSI STANDARD C63.4-2003 10.1.7 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES: The unit under test was placed on a table 80 cm high and with dimensions of 1m by 1.5m. The table used for radiated measurements is capable of continuous rotation. When an emission was found, the table was rotated to produce the maximum signal strength. At this point, the antenna was raised and lowered from 1m to 4m. The antenna was placed in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
