    Default RX65(S7) vs V1(3.872) Round #2........The Movie

    http://www.escortradarforum.com/foru...48&postcount=1

    A picture says a thousand words.......and these videos are worth a thousand pictures.

    A good rundown of the RX65 and Valentine One. Want to know about off-axis vs. on-axis? How about the rear horn? And just what does USA mode and Ka Guard off do for range? It's all in there.

    Awesome video and yes like one said Ka Guard off do rock but I know that they false a lot also. In some of the video it look like that the RX65 was neck to neck with the V1, I have to look at it again but in one video it seem like the RX beat the V1 or did I see that correctly.

    Actually, the RX65 in USA mode beat the V1 just about every time vs. around the bend radar. The V1 usually takes the win when the shots are on axis. That's why the Valentine did better in Section 1 & 2 testing compared to most of the 34.7 videos which had primarily off-axis influence.

    Turning Guard off on the V1 gives it even more potential range vs on-axis shots and brings it up to about even with the RX65 vs around the bend radar.

    Thats just my experience with these two specific detectors anyway......

    Great video, thanks for taking the time to do it / produce it and share it.
    I would feel comfortable with either of these detectors in my car.
    Great Stuff.

    Really good work ! Thank your for your time and this is what i call testing. It did not take thousands of dollars and a wait of years,30 dudes to do testing,hats off to you. I would send VR the 35.5 vid with Ka guard off and show them Ka guard off really does matter especially for Ka 35.5. Everyone at VR will tell you Ka guard off makes no difference.

    P.S i think the next test should be FF 35.5 or 34.7 C/O with another car in front of the radar and even try it way off axis. Then another step would be aim the radar antenna straight down on the dash or aimed up and even put the antenna in the floor.. I would also like to see you get involved with a Whistler SE platform.

    Yes to all of this whenever you find the time. wake up the guys at VR to their equipment's performance hindering software and poor off-axis front horn performance. Honestly, who needs 1 mile of on-axis sacrificing off-axis detection to the point of unnecessary fearful encounters.

    yesterday i turned pop off guard off on my V1. 1 ka false on a 30 mile trip, that is something i can tolerate. got stuck behind a benz with k band radar guided cruise for a few minutes, which was truly aggravating. The guy was cruising along in the left-lane and would not move over for anyone. Will hopefully get a bunch of real leo encounters soon so i can see if the performance increased noticeably.

    Mr Audi, sounds about right on the 1 false with Ka Guard OFF in 30 miles. I'll have give pop OFF along with Ka Guard OFF but have to watch out for OSP who use mostly K-band.
