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:

Not Ranked : +0 / -0 0 score also 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?

Not Ranked : +0 / -0 0 score I'm guessing the main reason VR would not like the Zegers V1 is the fact that the mod seals off the rear antenna.
