I'm going to travelling into the Akron area from PA. (80W, 76W, 77N, 21S). Do I need to turn POP on on the X50 for the Ohio leg? Any other adjustments for the journey?
Thanks.

I mean the v1 has great laser capability, and theQuote:

The x-50 does awsome with laser ... maybe not as good as a v1 but they go back and forth from what ive seen in testing sml... ummm although its nice to have all a laser/radar detector is for laser is a ticket notifier unless you have veil/ laser jammer so good luck...
I have never seen them.What part of cincy did you see them at?Quote:

I wonder...
Belscorts tend to suck on laser detection compared to V1. Escort does sell laser jamming systems and Bel used to. VR does not, and MikeV seems to be opposed to the idea on moral grounds.
Perhaps the Belscorts suck because they want you to add the companion product?
(and the other RD's suck because they just do)
WOW!!! i'm very surprised how the Cobra 9700 did on laser. :shock:Quote:

They setup on the on ramp on the exit after Howe avenue going northbound on Route 8Quote:

Then again for 500 bucks the v1 better be picking up laser scatter and giving me a damn warning cause thats outragess for a 1992 yr old technolgy and there crappy ergonomics. Not saying in testing it doesn't work as well ....and they just admited that pop was a threat?? so... Im not totally dissing v1 cause i mean they have great results and great plateform inside and the rear antenna is nice unless you hate falsing lol??? But there laser is unmatched by any other which is sad because it is 1992 technology beating 2004 technology which tells me that belscort needs to pull its head out of its as@!!!!
$500??? That is ebay :x :x VR New $400 and Refurb. $359, you are way off...... j/kQuote:

I wish I could pay that.
I don't think VR is using the same technolgy that it used in 1992, have you seen the pics of its laser receiver. V1 is an excellent RD, and you can be sure that it would be the last one you would need to buy.
Turn POP on for OHIO period. Learn where you see it, where you get falses, etc. I get it all the time on 271, 71, 275(never laser on 275 west of cinci). POP is real in OHIO, POP alert immediately to K alert, and LEO up ahead every time.
Any Ohio guys, Cleveland'ish area that can give me routes to drive to see if my X50 is picking up LASER? Have yet to have an alert in about 3 months.
On my rev 6.1, I have not had one pop false. this could bea good or bad thing :?Quote:
