    Default looking to get a v1, Qs about arrows

    The one point the valentine one have over me are the directional arrows. That is the main aspect that is winning over the escort x50 and i can get that one for cheap since i know a guy at best buy who can get it for cost plus 10%.

    With directional arrows being most important to me i want to know how well it works? Does it move from the front to the sides to the back when you pass a radar source? How would you rate the arrows from 1 to 10? Are they even relevant to you when you get a reading or is it just the signal strength that you are more concerned with?

    Good morning,

    The arrows work well. Like all detectors, you can get reflections off metal objects or building etc that will at times make the arrow read in the wrong direction sometimes. But 99% of the time, they work as they should. A great help knowing where the signal is coming from.

    Valentine has a 30 day return so why not give it a try.

    Take care,

    Spin

    Hello their, I can give you my " Thumbs Up " with out knowing you that V1 is a great move for you .... I have x50 from best buy and they give you for 15 days to try out which is for sure not enough ...and you wont save on 10 % so i strongly recommend or i should say advise you to go for V1 ... you will not get disappointed ....

    With the Arrows ... " you will fall in love with it as the time move on to future" " [ Slogan - Copyright ] .... it will move arrow exactly the way you said ... you will see the arrow move from front to middle and then back as soon as you pas the radar ..... try V1 first for 30 days and then go back to x50 for 14 days .... let me know how it did go for you ....Good luck

    The arrows work accordingly. Bottom line you will love the V1, perhaps I am a minority here, but I purchased the V1 for the fact of performance, arows were a bonus to me.

    The arrows work great, and I definitely find them to be useful.

    Gotta love the arrows, the V1 has great performance and the arrows let you know where the threat is, no need to rubberneck to try and spot where the threat is.
