I just received my V1, fresh from it's upgrade, three days ago. What a difference the upgrade has made! What had previously been rendered useless due to constant chatter, has been restored to an...

I have a V1 mounted in one vehicle I own and a Bel Vector 995 mounted in the other. Lately, the V1 has been rendered almost useless due to constant chirping and chatter, and indicating numerous...

Retired LEO here.

YES! Measurement is correct.

Police radar configuration does NOT effect the accuracy of a properly tuned unit.

Oh ... and let's not forget .... whatever radar detector you decide to purchase, make sure it's mounted properly in your vehicle (straight and level) and NOT pointing into outer space.

Know, too,...

UPDATE:

On Thursday, December 20th, I appeared in the Municipal Court of Pooler, Georgia. Although I was a half-hour early, there must have been at least 250 - 300 people crammed into that small...

Today is Sunday, and is exactly one week from the issuance of that darn speeding citation. Dudes, this thing has literally possessed me over the past week. I've been up since 4 am this morning...

My wife found RDs annoying until about 2 years ago when, early on a Saturday morning in a tiny little town just outside Statesboro, GA, she got hit with radar. She was driving my handicapped...

UDATE: The squad commander called me today around 2 PM. He was, actually, very kind and attentive. I explained to him my situation and he agreed to look into the matter and call me back. I guess,...

Arrived at the Pooler Police Department in Pooler, GA this morning (Wednesday, 11-07), on time, to meet with the Squad Commander. This meeting was set up on Monday. While I was waiting in the lobby...

Good advice.

Thanks.

I have an appointment with the shift commander at Pooler PD on Wednesday. We'll see how that goes.

I also have an appointment with my lawyer later that morning.

Honestly, this matter has me...

That's exactly right .... it's almost impossible to win in court when you challenge a citing officer. I know, because I've seen it too many times, even when I believed the defendant had a perfectly...

I just retired after serving 35 years as a LEO. The first 10 years of my career was spent in a traffic enforcement unit.

I started using a radar detector a few years ago after observing...

I've heard of this happening before, but always shrugged it off as being almost impossible. However, today made me a believer.

This morning at approximately 9:15 a.m. I was traveling I-95...

Thanks for the information .... I'd sure hate to lose my V1, particularly after just having the $189 upgrade.

I am leaving in the morning for Indianapolis from my home in Savannah, GA. I travel with a V1 radar detector. A couple of hours ago my brother-in-law called and told me that NC had banned radar...

Dude ... the V1 picks up radar, not cop cars. If the LEOs are simply congregating with radar off, and not working traffic, you will not get a signal. Your V1 is fine.

WOO-HOO .... it actually posted!

UPDATE: Received my V1 back from VR about ten days ago and I am proud to announce .... BIG DIFFERENCE! It works like a new machine. In fact, I think it is a new machine. The first time I got my...

My career in law enforcement began as a police officer, then deputy sheriff (ten years traffic). After graduate school I worked as a Special Agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, I then...

[QUOTE=midd;884890]Slow down killer! I was very anxious to get my V1 back from the update. But you are ready to slice VR's throat and your V1 probably hasn't left your local UPS yet! And on just...

UPDATE #2: I called Valentine Research today and spoke with a lady who answered the telephone. She listened intently as I explained the circumstances since receiving my "upgraded" V1 last Friday. ...
