Ok... this is an update to the thread I had about trading my Escort 9500i for a Valentine

Well.... after doing some reading... I have adjusted the automute features, and this has mad the v1 much more tolerable.

I am amazed by the range that i get with this thing.... and I have to admit.... the arrows are cool.

I feel totally confident driving with this detector. Although I haven't decided for sure yet if I am going to keep it, or trade someone back for a 9500i yet... I am giving it a fair shot.

I feel that the end result may be that I keep the V1, and do a little saving and just buy another 9500i.

Just thought I would let you guys know how it was going.. I wanted a V1 for soooooo long, and now that I have one... I must give it a fair shot... at least then I know if I like it.

I miss my V1 and I have tried to recreate it by using an Escort 8500 for frontal detection and my Whislter XTR-690SE mounted in the rear window for a ghetto 360 degree protection...not the same but it will do until I get another V1.
