Whip Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 The V1 is being set off by the ZUMO. When I turn the Zumo off it stops. This is how I have them set up. Whip Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Try removing the tank bag off & see what happens???? Link to comment
E30TECH Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Are they on the same circuit? I'm wondering if having them on the same circuit is causing it. I had something similar happen in my truck. Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I'm wondering if your GXM-30 is causing some interference with it being mounted in such close proximity to the V-1. Are you sure it's not the metal plate in your head that is doing it? Link to comment
Whip Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 "Try removing the tank bag off & see what happens????" Tank bag has nothing to do with the ZUMO nor the V1. "Are they on the same circuit? I'm wondering if having them on the same circuit is causing it. I had something similar happen in my truck." They are not on the same circuit. I'm wondering if your GXM-30 is causing some interference with it being mounted in such close proximity to the V-1. Are you sure it's not the metal plate in your head that is doing it? GXM-30 could be causing the interference......does not happen to my Escort Solo 2. The metal plates only interferes with my helmet size and Al's ear plugs when I try to use my Track helmet. Anyone else??????? Link to comment
ShovelStrokeEd Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Nothing to do with having them on the same circuit and I doubt the GXM antenna has anything to do with it either. When mounted on my Blackbird my antenna is in far closer proximity to my V1 and it never triggers. I don't have a Zumo but do have a 2730 which, I'm sure, has very similar electronics. Both are fed from the same power circuit, a buss inside my tank bag. I would look to the power cable of the V1 and be sure there is still a healthy connection between it and the unit. RJ-11 connectors are not particularly good at maintaing connection when things get flexed. I have had a couple of those cables lose the internal crimp. Link to comment
Heck Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 1. Sell zumo 2. Get 276 or 376 or my favorite... 1 Sell V1 2. get Escort 8500 Now don't you all agree with me so fast! All kidding aside- I would check with Mike Valentine or his people and see if they are getting the same complaints- might be a local oscillator issue in the zumo, in which case you would have to separate them a lot more than would be practical...

Whip Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 All good advice....I think I'll put them together in my car and see what happens. And I'll call the V1 dudes tomorrow. Link to comment
dls Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I have read on other sites where the xm radio interferes with radar detectors. I haven't seen anything specific concerning the V-1 and this problem but who knows. Did you try just disconnecting the xm and see if there is still a problem? Link to comment

My V1 is mounted within 10" of the Zumo and antenna....no problems. Both units operate normally for the last 6 months. Link to comment

Problem stops when I turn off the Zumo/XM/Mp3(all in one). Link to comment
EffBee Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Move the hockey puck. We had issues/discussions on this board about XM radios causing radar interference back in the days when the first Roady came out. Conventional wisdom said 14-18" of separation was needed. To test this, just unplug the XM and go for a ride. Hope this helps. Link to comment
