Hello from OH

**Double_J** · 09-22-2009, 07:03 PM

I know---another OH guy. After two tickets within a couple months (wife-1, me-1) I figured it was time to even the playing field a bit with the popo. The cops are out in force around here. I guess in rural OH they have nothing better to do---can't say I blame them.

Anyway, I've been lurking for a few days gathering up info and trying to soak up as much info as possible before pulling the trigger on a RD. I'm pretty sure it'll be a V1, but the 9500ix and STi seem to be popular models as well---decisions, decisions.

Welcome to the forums

my fav RD might not be your fav. I have the v1 3.872 and have learned to understand the beast. i would suggest using each of the rd for the 30 day trial period and checking out which RD is highly suitable. If u live in rural ohio, the valentine one would be a good choice since there will be less falses as compared to the city. And your choice of Rd might not be the same as your wifes...........Each of the RD mentioned above have their own flaws. ..........

Stay safe

The trial periods sound like a good idea. Do I try both at the same time (same time period) or give one a good month trial and then try the other?

Watchout with the trial periods you will like them all and end up like me.

Welcome to the forum. If you are worried about QT and I/O, then you need to look into the Valentine One or the Whistler RDs.

I say get the V1 for you and the 9500ix for the wife. That would probably be the best fit.

Go with the V1.
It is still the best and you will not be sorry.
Made and sold by an Ohio company.
Highly recommended.

Well, I pulled the trigger on the V1 this afternoon and it should be here on Friday.

Now it's time downlowd the manuals and start learning this piece before it arrives.

Good job on the purchase. I would first study the behaviour of the RD without making any changes to the config. after that i would go ahead and change some settings like the auto k mute ..........
