    Default V1 v3.813-Should I upgrade?

    I have read numerous threads, both here and elsewhere, about the 'best' V1 firmware.

    I have the 3.813 firmware, which is favored by many people. I know i don't have POP, but in Northern CA, I don't know that it is used. Of course, there is the very occasional trip to Nevada (maybe once a year).

    Is it worth upgrading the V1 (as well as getting a tune-up), or should I just buy a new RD so I have the choice of which to use?

    Thanks!

    Keep what you have and maybe send it in to make sure its working properly.

    Nope, 3.813 is one of the best V1 made - send it in for a tuneup though.

    Thanks-

    Should I buy a second detector which is POP-aware? Or is that not a real-world worry in CA?

    POP isn't used. It is B.S. that manufactures want you to but into.

    How much is a tune up? And how often is this done?

    Thanks!

    Gotcha on the POP...

    How about the whole 'Red-light camera/Speeding camera' functionality of the Escort 95001x? Is there value in this? I don't ever run red lights. Ever. But do worry about the speeding cameras.

    Speed cameras are illegal in California. Google "Beverly Hills Speed Camera" and read all about it. If you never run red lights and don't drive outside of California, there's no need for the database.
