This Tuesday the saintly FedEx man brought me my new V1, which I've been using since then to replace my RX-65.
This morning I had my first real encounter with it which, coincidentally, also made a meaningful use of the V1's display. I had just passed one of those silly digital message signs with the K-band drones in them. The arrow moved to the side, then to the rear as expected. Then, just as I would have expected it to die off, I got the new bogey tone, 2 bogies, and a flashing forward arrow. Half a mile up the road was a PSP trooper lurking in a cutout in the terrain that they made for them.
I know this is old news to most V1 users, but after my recent ticket I received in very similar circumstances I feel pretty happy about my purchase.
(I also made a mount for it out of flat aluminium strips that hold the suction cups up. (I don't trust suction cups.) I just finished that this morning; I'll have pictures and maybe a writeup tomorrow.)
