How true that is. I rarely speed, at most over 5 mph over the PSL and people ask why I use a detector. I explain that my last speeding ticket was due to a non-calibrated gun and instead of fighting...

When I first read this post I noticed the term "ground wave" used in a slightly wrong manner - ground waves travel along the Earth's surface while sky waves travel up into the ionosphere and are then...
Ham man - I agree. When I go on a site for the Kenwood 71A radio, it seems everyone is concerned with programing software and not being able to program the radio manually. I spent the time and...
Is'nt that just great! Next thing you know, we'll see falses from houses we drive by with radar distance measuring devices to let sheeple know how close that cold toilet seat is to their sensitive...
My guess is that he was using a RD with no way near the range of the V1. Or his RD was malfunctioning on that band or positioning of the mounts were different, etc.
As to the possibility of...

Is this author reliable in his presentation of factual information...
N.A. - That may be true in some cases but these warning devices (if existing) would (I think) only be detected for short distances - certainly not those such as I and others have experienced. For...
Usually, when my V1 goes off due to another (Cobra) detector, the signal disappears at about 100 feet to up to 100 yards. Any further and I suspect the causing vehicle is running a radar jammer. I...
I often park at the Cape Cod Canal (MA) for several hours boat watching - from small sailboats to barges and today I was watching a barge pushed by a tug pass by in front of my car some 100 feet...
Sorry about the gibberish in my post - seems its a product of the site and I can't edit it out..
From what I understand, the "J" setting will only work with Cobra detectors. I don't know if other brands will activate the "J". Besides, junk detectors generating those spurious signals won't be...
Aside from a couple of user programing features - the most important one being the addition of the "ESP", which allows a more customized use by the owner (with the added cost of the software), your...
The Valentine V1 does have a Euro Mode user setting that would probably cover your needs plus its one of the two top of the line RDs for performance but the cost is $399 but well worth the money.
I have not but I bet these drivers are using a radar jamer . In "the old days", truckers used a primitive jamer that sent out a strong radar signal that supposedly made the cops radar read a constant...
Veil Guy - I guess what you are saying is its better to have quality posting/topics than post numbers? I can agree with that. In any case, busy or not, I will continue to be as active on the forums...
CJRadar - Lets see how true this is (days for post questions to be answered). See my thread question above in this forum.
radar detection question...
While on this radar detector site, it was said that this one was...shall we say "dead"? That if you post a question, it takes days for anyone to respond.
For...
Since Ive' been here a little more than a year, I consider myself as one of those new members but not for childish "spy" games. I wanted to sample as many people with experience as I can since not...
Nice 1. Sorry, couldn't resist ;)
And another double post - not our day!
I'm so happy with my V1, I'm in a giddy mood and wondered if anyone out there can come up with some (nice) V1 jokes.
To start the ball rolling -
Driving down the road with his V1 side...
Thanks V G. That's what I would do to get a rough check of the V1s sensitivity. Granted, its not an accurate method but other than sending it back to VR, I guess its the easiest and only way to...
Does anyone know of the current V1 version having any loss in signal sensitivity on all bands over a couple or more years use? Since the loss of sensitivity would be very slow, how can an owner know...
You run your (old) RD inside the glove box? I'm surprised it lasted a couple of days without being damaged from excessive heating from no ventilation, not to mention near zero sensitivity without any...
Speaking for myself, I am NOT an expert on RDs - just sharing my experience over the years.
You just HAD to add a clip from that....never mind. You just ruined my day :mad:
