    Radar detection = they are about equal

    Laser= V1, wont really help

    V1 has arrows

    V1 usually alerts more often then my 8500- escort/bel

    With the bogey counter and the arrows, it is easier to determine if the source is real radar or a door opener.
    Usually goes like this:
    Front arrow lights up bogey counter counts more than one within a few seconds and if it is a microwave door opener..... arrows usually goes from front, side and rear rather quickly.
