    Exclamation Replacing my V1 with a CR90

    You read that right

    I just ordered a CR90 through radarbusters, although the ship date keeps slipping (any good reason, Mike?)

    I love my V1 and will really miss the arrows. But with a 9500ix in the other car, it starts to get embarrassing these days with every other car on the road setting off the V1 with their multiple radars (Well, OK, impressive detection, but...).

    The real reason is the second car isn't driven that much, and I will be selling off the V1 and 9500ix to replace them with the CR90 and a MAX in the new car.

    Radar is hardly used around here but I'm not comfortable driving with at least some detection. I'm almost always in urban areas so I want the latest, quietest stuff.

    I'm taking advantage of Whistler's excellent pricing, and they have sold me with their first-hand forum participation and advanced features added over the years.

    I see radar ALL THE TIME in your state whether it's local PD's or State Troopers.

    Amazingly, the Max seems to be shipping before the CR90, and radarbuster's ship date keeps extending. When will we see these?

    Really? I'm curious where you are driving. I see radar almost every day when riding around eastern MA...

    Do you own any other detectors jwardell ?

    The reason that I am asking is the similar model before the one you are buying puts out a large amount of KA band signals

    If you do could you hook both up and hit any of these manual settings on the whistler and see if they set off your other detector on ka band

    On these settings >

    Menu or Quiet or Mute or City or Dim

    The CR90 finally arrived today from radarbusters. I'll test it out over the next week or so and let you know what I think. At the moment I have V1 and Max to compare it to. I'll test your menu interference too.

    Thanks. I really appreciate that.

    and don't forget the other settings beside menu !

    they don't emit for very long as on menu on my 78 se but they do emit plenty of stray 35.5 when I change those settings.
