    Default First Long haul with the v1, last radar I ever buy!!

    Ok, I tend to go on for a long time when writing so I will make my best effort in telling this TRUE story best that I can. I took a trip from Rochester NY to Fenway park in Boston....The main route is I90 through NY and then 87 in to Boston all long hauling not much stop and go so I had my gps with trapster and v1 3.872 on the window oh yea also my Jammers=)
    Mapquest says 6hr 38 min I made it to my parking spot in Fenway just under 5...Basically 80 to 95 the whole way following alot of other people of course for rabbit use =0...basicaly long story short the 385 mile one way trip down I saw 9 people who were riding infront of me get pulled over, 9 of which my v1 and jammers protected me from wow!! some close calls but wow! riding with few sl55, bmw m5 and some other beaters but I encontered laser on 3 occasions all in which the laser was shot at car infront of me and my v1 caught the laser scatter and beeped a few times hit the brakes slowed down ..then BAM!!!!!! full laser alert and jammers on...less than 1/2 mile ahead on shoulder of the road a chase car right out in traffic right infront of me and nabbed the mercedez twice!...come to find out the bridge we passed when laser went off cop was up hiding behind bushes shooting laser and radioing to the chase car...pretty clever but not clever enough for the well equiped!
    The troopers mainly used ka constant but I ran into k and ka instant on mode and recognized the fast spikes before approaching the troopers hiding spot..I will tell you one thing the V1 did not miss one call it was right ontop of it the whole 770 mile round trip daytime and night time after this trip I am truely amazed and so glad I realized the v1 was the best and bought it!!!! ohh btw I had it in ALL BOGEY MODE WITH NOTHING TURNED OFF it went off alot but better safe than sry is the way I look at it great great great radar ...and the jammers must have worked to=)))

    The title had me scared, but you told a tale of great success.

    What kind of jammers do you have? M27 as in your sig, which needs updating =P

    Maybe they used FedEx, so he's still waiting for delivery three months later!
