    Default GOL tests and toughts

    First of all I would like to thank the GOL guys for their tests , which go largely unsponsored and benefit us all, I will look to donate to their cause as soon as I can.

    In their test they show a vararity of V1s , one , the 3.872 has KA guard off , It is cool for comparative reasons but I would like to had seen a 3.872 with default settings and one with POP off to see any increase in peformance from this more controvertial setting.

    The test did show however , and incredible increase in peformance on KA with KA guard off as some forum members had predicted ,however since a falsing test wasn't conducted we are going to have to run one ourselves :P

    The question is : is the increase in peformance guarant the huge increase in false alerts?

    Also the test shows that indeed the 3.813 is superior on some KA frequencies to the new ones ,again no tests were done on a un-modified 3.872 so we have no way to know that if the small internal changes done by V. Research did anything to improve the performance of our beloved V1 since this older model is hard to get by.

    Also no Laser detecting tests were done , so we have no idea if the additional false alerts we get from the newer V1s are equivalent to more range.

    The test did show however that Whistler is getting their stuff together and are catching up to the big,more expensive RD out there!

    what do you guys think ?

    Thank you guys for the test. Helps me decide on purchasing a new detector. Also glad to see that the 8500 refurb that I have does fairly well compared to the newer units. Really like the two instant-on test, a detectors ability to alert to traffic ahead being sampled is the most important quality to me. Thanks again keep up the good work.

    Looks like its time for a newer v1 or one that is a lot older.

    It looks like V1 did very good over all ...

    I thought new Redline would be tested as well, but I guess next year ...

    I tried to make it clear the redline was not tested, but no one listened.

    Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. People are still whining about testing the prototype LI two years ago, even though it was very clearly noted to be just a prototype.
