Valentine One is the best

I used a Cobra XRS and used to have a CB... I've since pulled both since I don't really drive it much anymore.

Mattj and everyone else is right, get a V1 from valentine or don't bother. this question has been asked a million times and its always the same answer, can someone close this thread now?

I have an Escort Passport 8500 x50 (got it super cheap with employee discount of course) and it works great. The V1 does have the arrows which is cool though. If I were paying full price for one I would probably go with a V1

Escort Passport 8500 X50 is good as well. So is the BEL RX65 (8500 x50 internals but it also detects the Ku band-a band that is soon coming to america from europe.)

I have heard the V1 is TOO sensitive. I have a friend with a V1 and it is like the little boy who cried wolf.

As for laser detection, the V1, RX65, and 8500 X50 all detect it, but if it beeps that it is detecting laser, you are probably already F'ed.

the V1 alos has the new europe bands its not sensitve. it so good it detects them from 3 miles away.

MattJ · 11-26-2006, 05:16 PM

Yeah if you get hit with laser, you are screwed. Theres a tips and tricks section on v1s website that gives you insight to reduce chances of a ticket.

Codiddy · 11-26-2006, 05:24 PM

Yeah If you think the V1 is too sensitive that is user error. I know which beeps to ignore and which ones are for real. I wouldn't want a detector that was LESS sensitive, that seems counter-intuitive. And nobody else has the arrows, I live by the arrows.

Milos · 11-27-2006, 06:26 AM

Not even the V1 can save you from a laser, so its pretty much just the radar bands that the V1 sets the curve with.... if you got the money.

Cheddarbob · 11-27-2006, 07:09 AM

so for lazer just but a lazer jammer. They are legal in cali!!

Milos · 11-27-2006, 11:57 AM

They can tell when you're using a jammer too.

Cheddarbob · 11-27-2006, 03:50 PM

true but they cant prove you were speeding

Sorry, the radar detector post just peaked my interest. Make a long story short: My parents tried to sell my mustang, what's the point in going to a mustang forum if you don't have your mustang anymore. But we're working on getting that back (and I'm now living in Kentucky = no emissions)...

**err, didn't read the post.

but in Connecticut, the downfall to a radar detector is that if they see one hanging, you almost always get a ticket. Jammers are illegal in Connecticut, so if they don't get you for speed, they'll get you for the jammer. In Kentucky neither are illegal... I actually got my first ticket let-off here, 73 in a 55 with a radar detector fully visable.

Depends on the cop and I guess his mood.
