    Default Reality has set in...

    I had my first encounter with I/O today, and I'll admit it was pretty sobering. I was lucky that they were not clocking the direction of travel that I was in

    My daily commute is about 70 miles of interstate, and up until now the state police and local sheriffs deputies really haven't been much of a match for the V1, trapster, and just being aware of the road. It's been like this for long enough that I often don't worry about using a rabbit...

    The many encounters so far have fallen into one of the below categories:

    1. State trooper/Sheriff's deputy in a common location that is clearly visible from a distance providing plenty of warning.

    2. State trooper/Sheriff's deputy running C/O (both moving and stationary).


    Well today I've learned that they either have gotten smarter, or I ran into two troopers that I normally don't see. You could imagine my surprise after the V1 went NUTS, gave the rear arrow, and then went silent. This happened twice. When looking in the rear view (thank goodness for the arrows) I saw the two patrol cars just off of the interstate, facing oncoming traffic (not my direction of travel) at a slight angle. Warning distance from sight alone couldn't have been more than 1000ft for oncoming traffic.

    I took the next exit back to drive by one more time, and the V1 didn't make a peep... they seemed to be very selective with their shots.

    Guess that means that I need to use a rabbit 100% of the time. Its also probably time to get a CB. Luckily I found this out the easy way

    The good news: now that I know I/O is used I am REALLY glad that I chose the V1

    The CB has its own limitations, but the more defenses you add the less of a problem each one's limitations become.

    On a good day, the CB provides rabbits for ten miles in each direction that can talk to you.

    If it is Quick Triggered I/O, then be very blessed you have the V1. It is getting more and more used by the week. More and more agency's are buying the Stalker DSR 2X units and LEO's are taught how to use them. I am compiling videos from different areas of north Texas to a lot of Oklahoma which are my own, and will start posting these showing proof of it's wide spread use. Today I caught on video local LEO using this on HWY 82. He was quick triggering it on every single vehicle I video'd except a slow driving Dodge truck. Escort should wake up to the issue and make this an option into their detecting devices. Their Redline will not pick this Q/T Stalker DSR up, that I have seen so far, but it will the regular I/O use of it around 1 second and above. I used my Redline at this same location of the video I recorded today, and the same LEO in question, and it was whisper quiet just like my 9500ix was. This was the week before I shipped it to Cbr. At this time My V1 has so far picked up 100% of the Q/T encounters I have come across. I wanted to ship my Redline to LEOENFORCEMENT, for video purposes of it against Q/T Stalker DSR 2X in a thread here on this forum, and was quickly "hushed" not to do this, by a few newbies, so I did not, even though the V1 is used in his videos. I still do have some respect for Escort products. I could have very easily shipped the Redline just as I did to Cbr, for less shipping costs to LEOENFORCEMENT, as he is very close by, but I did not.

    I'm sure it would be especially effective considering the heavy truck traffic where I am.
