I'm a V1 owner. Have been for at least 12 + years. Would you wait till February 2011 or make the jump now? I'm particularly interested in the Q1 with GPS / Navigation.

Thanks Roy.
I suspect GPS enabled detectors are the way to go to help counteract these devices.
Interesting.
All in the name of safety.
I've seen speed cameras (non-radar) before on local streets, usually at intersections. But, can speed cameras (non-radar) be used on the interstates as well?
I suspect yes, but I have never run...

I sold my V1 2.5 weeks ago. I now regret it.
I bought my 9500 ix on February 25, 2009 and I am returning it.
I want to like my 9500 ix, because it is a very quiet radar detector and I like...
for speed signs ... how is this handled?
For instance, on my daily commute, I run across k-band speed signs in a school zone that I pass on my way to work ... after three times, will this signal...
CJR, thanks for your reply.
My only hesitation with the GX 65 or the 9500 ix is laser detection. As I explained in my previous message, I know the shortcoming of laser detectors, but I have been...
Thanks for the information. Have you or anyone else encounteed any low powered K band photo radar traps?
I am selling my V1 (latest edition), not because of performance. The V1, as you know, is a great radar and laser detector. A little chatty, but its sensitivity is phenomenal.
I'm trying to...
I'm flying into Nashville on Wednesday to pick up a vehicle I plan to purchase. From there, I will be drivng to Destin, FL., mostly down I-65.
What bands of radar or laser should I look for? ...
I can try, but it's an area that I don't frequent too often. The speed signs have been in place since the beginning of construction of that particular strech of the interstate under repair, but the...
I have 3.862, but I can't speak for the past revisions, as I haven't had a V1 for well over 1.5 years, but I recently purchased the 3.862 on Tuesday of last week and received it this past Thursday.

Thanks Michael B for your help.
I am sending in my detector tomorrow, scheduled for a Wednesday delivery.
Have a good evening.

Yes, I would like to send it in to you.
I appreciate your assistance.
Can X band performance be addressed while you have it in your hands as well as the ramp up? Also, I am very concerned I...
what is the latest and greatest V1 version number? 3.861? Any noticeable difference?
Thanks,

One thing I failed to mention is that this detector is extremely quiet. Too quiet. I can drive through the city of Houston and not detect a signal (Walgreens, CVS, grocery stores, etc.)

Please see my post in another thread. It appears you are having the same exact problem that I am having.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the 78. My third one is the charm. Once you get it working correctly, I believe you will really enjoy your purchase and it will pay for itself 10 x.

I use Filter mode, although my previous defective Pro-78 defaulted to Filter 2 mode.
The 78 is very quiet throughout the city. With my new 78, I have not had a positive false (Uniden, Cobra,...
