    Just buy a new V1 because you'll have to spend $245 (I think that's right) for the upgrade to 1.8 unless you just want a tune up.

    Just keep the X50 and enjoy spending the money on strippers instead.

    I have a 1.7 (2.909). The upgrade for it is $185, and gives you POP mode (useless) and slightly better KA coverage. Have NEVER had any range problems. I also run an RX75, the V1's range is definitely superior, although both are solid.

    I wouldn't worry about the fact that it is a 1.7.

    the v1.7 has alot better laser detection than x50 i mean alot.i can vouch for that to anybody .v1.8 has way to many flase alerts for my taste.thats my opion :wink: .also the only ka freq were the v1.8 beats the v1.7 is in 35.5ghz ka band. but still the v1.7 does ok plenty of time to react on a ka alert from 35.5freq
