    I thought a Austrialian Reseller or something had redone the horn of the Valentine to provide immunity to the Spectre about a year ago.

    It was a modification, I believe it dis abled the arrows and rear antenna.
    They (Roy Zegers) contacted VR, trying to sell the idea.

    Mike wasn't interested.

    Zegers also wanted $1400.00 for a modified V1................. :shock:

    Also, I think in that modification they have to cut out the x band coverage. Shouldn't we have the option to do that ourselves?

    I'm guessing the main reason VR would not like the Zegers V1 is the fact that the mod seals off the rear antenna.

    It would still sell no arrows but a stealth rd ... Call it the VS1.

    Valentines business model really puzzles me

    Welcome to the board tibook. Tibook, I can attest to what you are saying since I was on the phone w/ VR last week. This is what they told me also.
