I also am one of the X50 owners planning to migrate to V1 unless escort gets their **** together with "upgradability" (ha).
I do hope that Valentine comes out with a leak-proof unit, though.

I think windshields fall under comprehensive coveraage (I have liability + uninsured motorist + pip, no comp or collision). I'm in NJ, dont think it covers auto glass. :-\
I gotta call b.s., the Pro-58 is a great performer and its only $94.99. If I couldnt afford over ~$100, that would be what I have, and I'd know it was good.
No, Mikey V campaigned against POP, basically saying that it doesnt belong in the detectors because it shouldnt be used by cops, so he wasnt going to add it (paraphrasing, i dont feel like digging up...
Rock came up off the highway and hit my windshield hard (made a tiny crack). Anyway, the crack grew and grew until it spanned from one side to the damn other. Glass places? $300-350, Junkyard? $180...
If speeding bribes cost 1/3 of a chicken.... I'd speed way more.
Yeah, but I did alright for myself at radioshack. One thing I learned, it only pays to be dishonest in a commission sales job, thats for sure.
I didnt feel like selling junk though, junk gets...
I used to do that working at radioshack. My sales pitch would basically be
"The best is Bel or Escort, we carry the bel models. Dont bother with the $179 cobra, you'd be better off with the Bel...
Tell them to stop jerking you around or you'll contact your credit card company and initiate a chargeback.
I hope you used a real credit card and not a debit card. You should never use a debit...
I'd rather it be an IRC chatroom, and you could still use a java applet to access it (like PJIRC http://www.pjirc.com/main.php ).
I think you're safe because it excludes "equipment that is legal under FCC regulations" from the ban. Radar detectors being one of them.
Oh did you make a new one?
I live in jersey so I dont see how X band could hurt ;-).
If anyone wants to bump my thread for further discussion, you can see where I left off (searching for parts worthy of a detector)....
Thats how I was envisioning it starting. I'd need a radar gun to test it with though.
Anyone think the gun from hot wheels is x-band?
I'd rather roy made a forum here for homebrew detectors, if anyone got serious about it.
I think by "open source" he means the spirit of the open source community where schematics and code would...
i had my x50 go on and off cause my hardwire had a bad ground when i first installed it... i could kick it loose with my foot and not realize it.
some creativity, zip ties, and some patience......
The SiRFstarIII is a beast, simply demolishes the competition.

This is in the warranty agreement: "Only the original Detector product sold new with a warranty is eligible for Service under this Agreement."
If I read that right, you may have needed to buy it...
I know this did suck but i think bel gives you like 70 back for one of these now :)[/quote]
Pshh, if they want me to do a trade-up, they better be giving me back $200 for the X50 when they release...
I see alot of X and K still in NJ... the Ku switch will probably happen sometime after my X50 dies (and I have a 3 year extended warranty...).
I'm working on a semi hidden mount location for my detector. See crude drawing for details:
Center of windshield (from driver/passenger). Near the top. I'm going to use an ez-pass holder...
Hahaha, hahaha. Rich people buy dumb **** all the time. I know some.
I know how people hate ebay but this isnt a radar detector :-P ... <EBAY LINK REMOVED - JIMBONZZZ>
I believe they're 1/4" jacks not 1/8", so you'll need a few little adaptors that you can prolly...
