    Default new Valentine in GA

    Hello list! i took delivery of a new V1 on Friday and do love it. i ran it all weekend along with my old Escort 7500 and needless to say it spanked it. the V1 gave my 2-3 seconds lead time over the old 7500. i love the mount and everything about this new unit. i got it as a "refurb" unit from the factory for $360.
    love the forum,
    trey

    welcome to the forum. LIke someone said do not run the 2 rds at the same time. Since u now have gained trust of the V1. But remember the V! is going to be a lot more chatty in the city. So u can switch the rds depending on your style and time of driving. So look into the cheetah gps mirror or the C100. It should quite it down and will complement the "perfect" radar detector.....but these are additions that can be added at annytime....

    thank you all. i have already moved the Escort to wife's car, i just wanted to see how well it did in comparison. it is, like you said, quite verbal around town though. i will research the Cheetah and C100. i will probably kill the X band immediately.

    i would research before i kill the X band completly. esp NJ and ohio are known to use the X band. Even thou i havent encountered one yet. You can search for the thread that states bands use per town/city. also Look at instruction of k band auto muting. it might help quite down the rd just a lil bit in the city. It usually didnt help me that much.

    If you have a gps in the car, install trapster on it which is free and will given u an idea of the general hiding spots......or if u have the iphone u can get the latest updates....
