V1 FTW

 

https://store.valentine1.com/store/

V1 $399

 

its newer thats all

 

i like blue , but not for 40 bucks more

 

+1...

 

i can vouch for ian, i have the valentine 1 as well and have never gotten any moving violations for the 2 years that i've had my car.

maybe ian has his music too loud to hear the radar??

 

ok i wasn't radared ok. i just happened to blow by cops or something stupid like that. every time i picked up a radar signal, i was safe.

except one time, when the cop had just pulled into his hiding spot near campus, turned around and snapped his gun in my direction. i managed to slow down from around 90mph to 62mph in a 40zone, but i was already too close to him when he clocked me.

every other time i was pulled over, i was paced, or in the case of my 2nd SCS meet 2 years ago a CHP unit saw like 12 of us doing like 120 down the 55, but only i got pulled over.

every time i pick up a radar signal, i know where he's coming from and can get down to the speed limit in time.

 

blue > red

i heard both valentine 1 and escort are good. so it's really up to you

 

I have had my V1 for about 4 months now. It has saved me numerous times. It was rated pretty high. Yes it is more expensive but isnt that worth not getting tickets anymore? To me its a small price to pay compared to tickets and not to mention insurance. I have never seen a Passport in action and im sure they are good but V1 has made me a believer. When i go to tahoe everytime my V1 picks up 3 or 4 hiding. But like what was said earlier you make the call.

'oh yah. happy early bday.

 

thanks

"This year, the measurement of the radar and laser detection abilities of each of the over $200 units gives the Valentine One ($400) a small edge over the competing BEL Vector 995 ($260) and Escort Passport 8500 X50 ($300 with red display or $340 with a blue display) units."

V1 is the best in laser detection:

V1 has the best rear radar detection because it is the only detector with 2 antennas to locate radar:

V1 is the least detectable detector by RDD's or Radar Detector Detectors in states where radar detectors are illegal. The Spectre III is the most used RDD in the world and it can only pick up the Valentine One if it is 166 feet or closer which is better than the X50 which can be detected 954 feet away.

The Valentine One which accounts for only .6% of radar detector sales wins every poll when it comes to being the favorite detector. The X50 doesn't even get an approval rating as high as George Bush's worst rating.

Radar Roy from Radarbusters.com said this about the Valentine One, "Just spoke with Carl Fors from SML, his website will be going online tonight with the 2005 results. He has declared the V895, 8500 and the Valentine One as the top performers. Motortrend, who was also at the test, will be declaring the Valentine One as the top detector based upon its detection of laser.

Radar Roy said, "There were results that they (Guys of Lidar) got during the test that I was not exactly pleased with, such as the discovery of the Blinder not having Stealth Mode installed and the Valentine beating out the Escort and Bel in the range tests. Even though I don’t sell the Valentine, it does have slightly better range than both the RX65 and the 8500 and I also show this same fact on my site. Would love it to be the other way around."

Here is a link and video of the V1 alerting to radar quicker than the X50 and sometimes the X50 didn't alert to the radar at all. They are quick pulling the radar gun's trigger and the X50 is filtering it out and the V1 is picking it up every time.

V1 wins in POP detection:

http://media.putfile.com/JammerTestscom_tests_V1X50_POP

V1 wins because it detects a certain laser gun in stealth mode while the X50 remains silent:

Call Valentine Research at 1 800 331 3030 and ask for a returned V1 and you will get 10% off the retail price of $399. It will be the latest version V1.8 POP2 w/ Euro-mode and 3.826 firmware and that comes with all the accessories and a 1 year warranty.

 

And there you go!!! V1 is the best.
