I own a laser jammer. A ZR3. I just do not have a laser jammer on my new car yet. Trying to hold out for Antilaser AL6. If they don't come out soon I might have to choose something else, I can't stand driving slow.Originally Posted by happya$$

stealthJamal, are you saying the V1 is better on Ka or the X50 is? I can't decide what to buy... looking for good laser performance but Ka too.
I'm saying the orignal Passport 8500 Rev 15 which is no longer sold is better than the V1 AND the X50 in detecting Ka band from my experiences.Originally Posted by computersoc
If you are looking to buy a new detector I suggest you look at the RX65(when operated in Ka USA mode) and V1 for the best Ka protection or wait to see what new detectors come out.
This is interesting as it seems alot of people like the V-1 but there are some that haven't had good experiences with the V-1..I was considering getting a V-1 myself. We will just have to see.
So in this case the arrows were useless?Originally Posted by AirMoore

hi guy......my two cents been using radar detectors for about 20 years or so ...drive a lot of miles....always swore by escorts ....then for some reason went and bought a V-1 and will never be able to use anything else ..i drive hard and fast all the time... since i got my v-1 even in mountain terrain it just cant be beat... i still get Sweaty palms but you can not beat the arrows the direction finder...why would you think of using anything else ....i just don't know what this guys saying about a little more distance ..the laser part is still weak i think as i dint see much laser a few false alarms ....BUT FOR ANY TYPE OF RADAR YOUR NUTS FOR USING ANYTHINE ELSE
My three cents...My feelings exactly Chip_1. I owned the original Escort back in the late 70s for many years. And tried many since.Originally Posted by chip_1
The V1 does a good job of being on the threshold of sensitivity vs selectivity. The bottom line is if you want sensitivity, you got to understand that you will get some falsing. Those false alarms share the same frequencies as real radar. Some false alarms can be filtered through signal recognition, others can't. Those arrows are a God send. My other detector in wify's car, I'll pick up and turn it to see where the signal is coming from.
Earliest possible first alert to police radar is my main concern when choosing radar detectors. The features of a radar detector come second in order of priorities for me.
Then you will be keeping your V1Originally Posted by stealthJamal
