    Default Radar Review

    So I was bored and I just got finished reading the current review of the top 3 on www.radartest.com . A lot of people told me that they were anti-V1 but I never thought it was this bad. They really slam the V1 in the review. It is kind of funny. Does anyone know if they have something attached to Belscort or what? Read this review under the V1 section...it gets worse and worse.

    They say it can be... (The whole part about V1 zombies crying about them saying it isnt in the past) and then they (RT.C) say it is "sort of" blah blah blah, but its rocket science.

    Overall though... Yeah it is all pretty biased, I mean some of the points are true for the most part (hard to identify bands at night vs the X50/RX65) thats rather true, but saying the range of the X50/RX65 from behind where they mounted it... is just outlandish.

    I agree with f_399 I much prefer raw data.

    THey quote on their review page

    A respected source for all major brands of detectors is BuyRadarDetectors.com, one we've found to be reliable, knowledgeable and very price-competitive.
    BuyRadarDetectors.com also says that cobras are amazing detectors :roll:
    I would just buy directly off Roy or Valentine himself.

    That test I believe, is an old one done a few years ago but with a new date attached. I saw the same test and was almost able to quote the next sentence from memory.

    I made the mistake of buying part 2 of this report. They wouldn't refund my $9.X, I shredded that dribble just the other day.
