    Default V1 vs FHP Laser

    Couple of nights ago (at 11pm) I was cruisin' on I-75S in Florida at about 15 over when my V1 alerted to laser for about 5 seconds with no other cars too close to me.

    I was driving a white Pontiac G6 with no countermeasures installed and was able to outbrake 'em...no ticket.

    Sure enough several moments later I saw the cruiser in the median. Targeting occured at about 1500 feet away from him.

    Thanks VR for making a terrific laser detector.

    Amen to that. Their laser detection is INCREDIBLE. Now only if their radar detection capability was as far ahead of the game as their laser detection :cry:

    Actually not this time around, it was a rental that I had for several days.

    I have been informed that FHP may have just started laser in a big way, may be Stalker, after a bulk purchase. The officer may have been relatively inexperienced with the new equipment, hence my good fortune.

    I expect to be traveling to FL again in about two weeks time, again with a rental. This time I will be taking some VEIL (and the V1) and using it on the rental now that the likelihood of coming across laser in FL has increased significantly.

    And the company won't care that you're putting veil on their car?

    Default huh?

    You saying V-1 lacks in radar sensitivity as a whole?

    How would they even know? Of course I would remove it before returning it. :wink:

    happya$$,

    How could you envision "better"?

    Personally, I find the radar section of the V1 to be as good as it gets (along with the other top performing detectors, you know which).

    The fact that the differences are minimal [with radar] is a testament to the fact that other companies have finally caught up with VR on that score (its taken many years to do so, in fact).

    I frankly, wouldn't want any greater range on a detector, if that's what you meant by "better." Why? Because I tend to discount any alerts after a certain amount of time. In otherwords, I don't care to want to know that radar is being operated 10 miles down the road. In 5+ minutes I will have certainly forgotten about a sole alert in that distance and if I happen to be cruising at speed, I honestly don't have the patience to "crawl" at a lower speed waiting for the 10 miles to click by.

    Are advances like predictive alerting (due to GPS data) cool? Sounds promising. But as a pure detector, I can't fathom how much better its performance could be with radar. :wink:

    If one were to open one and examine the quality of build of a V1 (thickness of circuit boards, etc.), it would be easy to appreciate what you get for your money with 'em.

    [Some] companies come out with "new" models every year, but are they really "improved" from the previous model years?

    When I think of a Valentine, I think Porche 911. That model has changed [fundamentally] relatively little over its long life and has stayed true to its roots. [For you high-end audiophiles, think the SME Type 5 tonearm].

    Why? Simple. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :wink:

    The thickness of most curcuit boards is 0.062" made from FR4 and the components are the same quality. It's the design that makes the V1 stand out.
