    Default I bought a XTR-140 today

    Picked it up at my local Autozone store. I followed the reviews for it pretty well so I decided to buy it since it is cheap and very well wish me the best luck but I will buy a V1 way later. maybe this fall or winter lol

    It'll be good for you. Sensitivity for $50 is awesome, but that also means false alerts. Not many tough, especially if you go on City 2 mode, which disables X band. I use it as my backup, and it's saved me twice. I don't speed much though. You'll like it, don't worry.

    That's not a bad unit for the price. I hardwired a Whistler 1743 in my mom's car.

    Don't even compare it to a V1, you'll be disappointed. For a $40 radar it's absolutely fine though.

    Watch out for Ka 35.5 it's very poor.
