If budget is really tight get an x50 but be warned K-band sensitivity on the x50 is pretty good so it will pick up a lot of the chatter the V1 will pick up, but without the option to mute the initial alert like the V1. Most of the Staters run Stalker Dual Ka units which both the x50 and the V1 dominate so that isnt your problem. Make you decision based on false supression because I usually just turn the Rd off and drive with traffic when I pass through Houston.
Hope that post made sense...
the last thing he needs is the v1. the k band alerts will drive him nucking futz to where he will disregard them all. and correction, texas troopers/highway patrol (same thing) runs Ka exclusively.
i'd say x50 or rx65. you will see a LOT of Ka, so seriously, for the lack of filtering and Ka band detection, don't get the v1.
