Það viss myndað af is not því af the vara því fólk geta og gera fá aðgöngumiði með the v1 allur the tími jafnvel hvenær lögregla ratsjá og liggja í leti er ganga venjulega með neitun brögð flókinn. ÉG hafa taka eftir frá minn eiga experiances og margir annar staða þessi margir v1's hafa a raunverulegur slæmur slæmur venja af " að fara út af lag" og þörf til vera málsgrein bak til the verksmiðja fyrir a retuning. Gera þeir vara við þú af this? Neitun, the fyrstur viðvörun er hvenær a lögregla bíll draga þú yfir! Minn Bjalla still works like a charm and I have never needed to send it back to the factory for a retuning...ever. I always love the posts.. ![]() "WTF did I do wrong,I was using a v1!" Now I am going to let you go buddy. I have had similiar conversations with every V1 Zoombie out there.. "It's a religion..it doesn't just beap...it has arrows...Yada..Yada..Yada..." ![]() |

GB, Be careful...'best' can mean different things to different people. Without a doubt, the Valentine One is a terrific radar detector with great pedigree (Valentine Research). But in today's market there are a lot of great radar detectors, each which behave a little differently. To be entirely candid, I can't say for sure which is the absolute "best" because they each have different design and performance objectives that, IMO, go beyond merely detecting a radar (or laser) signal at the earliest possible moment (which at certain times may not always be optimal). Try driving, say with a stock-setting V1 (versus a stock-setting Escort Passport 9500i) around town and then on an open and remote stretch of roadway, and these philosophical difference will become more apparent. Beltronics and (particularly Escort, I believe) try to take their highly sensitive radar detectors to the another level: filtering out unnecessary alerts. This philosophy is extended to their default settings behaviors. To even attempt this while at the same time balancing alert quickness is an extremely daunting task, indeed and I applaud both companies for their different approaches to achieving [or even seeking to achieve] a fine balance. Valentine, to be sure, also does signal processing and post signal processing and takes a different approach to identifying certain Ka-falses (with its "Junk" alerting feature). Whichever approaches are adopted by each manufacturer, advanced filtering is a Herculean task, without a doubt. When a radar detector's sensitivity approaches/exceeds 120dbm (a jaw-dropping number), the "easy" thing for a manufacturer to do is to simply alert to the signal. Performing additional processing in an attempt to "intelligently" alert while minimizing alerting latencies is a much, much harder accomplishment. That I believe is one philosophical distinction between these radar detectors which ultimately serve to reduce driver fatigue and the potential for alert signal disregard as a consequence. When I drive with other windshield-mount radar detectors such as the Bel Vector 955 (V955), Beltronics (BEL) RX-65 Pro, Escort 8500 X50, Escort Passport 9500i, Beltronics STi Driver, Whistler Pro 78, Whistler XTR 690 (especially around ever increasing and more densely populated roadways, I appreciate each of these engineering achievements for what they are and how they each do what they do. 10/11 mile theoretical alert range would be somewhat of a handicap, in my opinion. I feel well protected by any of them and that includes certain high-end models from Whistler, as well. The same will also hold true for the new "big dogs," on the block, that will be making their ways into the vehicles of only the most fortunate [well-heeled] drivers, the Beltronics STi Remote and the Escort Passport 9500ci (which takes intelligent filtering of police radar to an even higher level). The one area that is not as subjective, in my opinion, is with the police laser reception performance of the Valentine One. It still has no equal and is in a class all by itself. In the final analysis, we have many different flavors of ice-cream, for a reason. I used to prefer vanilla, but lately (in my later years) I have been tending towards chocolate. My wife (Veil Gal) prefers rocky-road (which I don't particularly care for, especially when I am behind the wheel ). ![]() Which one do you think is best? ![]() Peace. ![]() Veil Guy ![]() |

I respect what your saying Veil guy. I agree with how you seem to fall towards a different flavor over time. But my flavor is V1 and my second Flavor is Bel. I truly like the arrows and the fact it has been so reliable, "8 years to be exact now" and heat has never been a issue like Mr. STALKERVISION claims.. At night to me the V1 really shines with its bogey counter and arrows, telling you the location of the cop. I don't really care much for a talking radar detector. My girlfriend talks enough for me. So in conclusion to all of this, "We all have our favorites and yes I truely love the V1 thats why I like to talk about it so much.

steagall1000, Mine too (but don't tell her that)... ![]() I too, love the Valentine One for what it represents , what it continues to do, and its long-established pedigree. I have just come to share my love for other radar detector models, as well, and I am certainly not trying to change anyone's opinion, just that I am being open-minded, that's all. To be sure, [that] doesn't make me any less of a fan of the mighty V1, not by a long shot! At the end of the day, I am just thrilled that we, as drivers, have so many good choices today...that wasn't always the case. ![]() Veil Guy ![]() |
