Valentine1 sysnopsis

Nice synopsis. The V1 really shines when you are out on the open highway/interstate and there are no false alert sources nearby.

Once Escort gets the arrows, it's game over for the V1 IMO.

You're probably right, except there's also the quick trigger and bogey counter issues.

Don't forget Escort will have to engineer a new platform with front and a "real" rear receiver.

There's not going be a Bel-entine dash model
Ever
a 9500ci or STi-R PLUS - with arrows - $2,300 (US)
unlikely we'll ever see one of those . . . either

I just wish that they would stealth the dang thing so I can start using mine again...... No fun in VA any more with Spectres

I had 6 K bogies at once today, and the arrows were going all over the place. I had no idea where the cop was or if there even was one. I consider the arrows "cute" most of the time. They do make me smile when I can use them to help pick out the cop though.

I drive through Atlanta, Ga. on the downtown connector and I usually get 7 bogies at once on my V1 as I drive past Grady Hospital which is next to the highway. All that testing equipment being used at the hospital triggers the alerts. It happens every time and it drives me crazy. At least I know the V1 is working.

Absolutely smoked an AL state trooper Sunday. Got around 2.5 miles of warning from his C/O Ka. He was parked on the right shoulder facing with traffic, shooting rear and forward facing. Nice detection, especially since it was raining/misting outside.

Dig this! My wife said I wasted my money on the V1. Now everytime we go for a long haul she wants it in her F150.

Gotta love the arrows. Riding in my friend's vette and hearing the 9500ci go off without the arrows ... it was interesting. A time to reflect. I can't believe some consider the arrows to be "gimmicky." They work, they work well, and they provide useful ... even essential information.

True , but there is a reason why some cant use the v-1 : rdd

25 FOR 25. My V1 is the best investment for people who travel the highways and take it up high. I have other little tricks to fool the guntoters and mixed with V1 I am got more than my moneys worth out of the V1. If you shoot a laser at me, I am going to know about it. That is my right as a citizen. ONE PROUD V1 OWNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta love the V1. I feel beyond blind everytime I dont have mine in my car when I go for a drive. Some people complain when it beeps for falses (I usually have the volume at nearly max) but I love it. Its just another form of eyes telling me what is going on around me.
