    Re: The future of Valentine One? Dismal.

    4 patents starting 4 years ago and a patent continuation, which is very rare - wonder if it got approved or not or if it is still pending continuation?

  3. Re: Is Ka Band Segmentation Worth It? Increase Risk for Little Benefit?

    Segmentation does enable the RD to concentrate on the most common Ka bands since it is superwide and takes time to scan the complete band. This allows a quick trigger or POP to likely be received as...

    Re: Shake your V1, does it rattle?

    If I were in Spectreville I think I would opt for one of the RDs that were stealth and not Spectre detectable. The V1 (any version) is highly detectable.

    Re: max 2 redline

    I don't know if any of the Escort products have good filtering with BSM. The V1 does and at least where I live a high end RD is useless without BSM filtering. As time goes on it is only going to...

    Re: Valentine one VS Escort MAX

    The reason the "others" have caught up to the V1 is primarily due to the fact that a lot of the first patents that MV owned have expired and are now being used by the other mfrs.

    I would send it in to make sure it is working correctly then, probably worth the 45 bucks. One other thing, is it possible the audio is working intermittently where you would miss the light...

    Re: V1 did not pickup PA state trooper

    It could be they are running VASCAR which is timing between 2 points of a known distance. The other possibility is they are running POP and that is hit and miss of picking it up depending on band...

    The future of VR

    Just wondering, I don't know how old MV is but what will happen to VR when he retires. As a privately owned company, I guess he has many options, sell it or hand over control to someone trustworthy...

    Re: Ok time to upgrade V1?

    I would upgrade or as suggested buy a refurb'ed. Starting with if I recall 3.85x units can detect errors and also keep a steadier LO. In short, the newer units are less likely to fall out of tune. ...

    Re: The future of Valentine One? Dismal.

    Outdated platform? The only original part in the V1 is the chassis (even the chassis has changed in size since the original). I buy a detector for what is inside, not the case. If you need bells...

    Re: V1 is pretty much useless

    How old is your V1? I upgraded mine in Dec and it has TMF2. This is not turned on by default, you must go into programming options to turn on. Works great, I get very few falses now from side lane...

    Re: Junk K =TMF2

    Not quite, TMF2 was simply renamed to Junk-K falsing, there is no difference at all in systems with the old name of TMF2 and the new name of Junk-K.

  21. Re: Its been a long time since posting. V1 versus Passport MAX ??

    How did he "renew" his patent? That literally takes an act of Congress to extend a patent. Patents exist for a certain period of time for a reason.
