Will a combination of the STi Magnum and Valentine 1 latest software work? Or would that cause inrerference? Would it work as good as the STi-R and V1 combo?
Also, what jammers does the STi-R utilize?

Why didn't you just send him a PM? A STi-R and V1 combo would work better because one is windshield mounted and the other is mounted on the grill of your car.
"Because one is on the windshield and other is on the grill." Thanks, but anyone else with an educated (useful) answer?
I recommend google.
No jammers comes with the Plus but it has the ability to have the ZR4s to integrate perfectly. Most people that want the ZR4 will get the 9500ci as it comes with them and the RD maniac will get the Plus and the LIs separately
No. Running them together in the same cabin will sporadically reduce the performance of the STi Magnum and probably the V1 as well.
Yes, they will interfere with each other. They may or may not make each other alert, but both will probably perform lower than it would alone, especially the STi.
No.
None, but you can add the ZR4s to it if you want to.
Has the Magnum saved you on any encounters or given much more advanced warning where the V1 may have failed?
I'm asking this because I'd like a cheaper V1 + STi-R setup which would be STi Magnum + V1 instead (cheaper). From what I know now, the V1 us weak with Ka 34.7 and even worse with 34.7 I/O. That's where I was hoping the Magnum would safeguard the V1's shortcomings.
Any clarification on this would be nice.
Rumor has it BS and RDR will be coming for the Redlne for users that have Escort LIVE. That will be your lower cost alternative.
You need a new royal family. I like Kate!
I'll save DJRams the trouble of saying it, but don't bother with the ZR4 Jammers. Get a Laser Interceptor.
I don't think the magnum would have save me anymore than my V1 as I don't push the outer limits. I did test the V1 and the Magnum against a K band sign. The Magnum won, but by a slim margin. I was more concerned about Ka band but I didn't have a controlled encounter but my gut tells me the Magnum has more range. The Magnum is a lot quieter in town unless you program the V1 not to sound off for three bars. But I do miss the arrows.
I run the V1 and Magnum together. V1 set to A mode with Savvy. Magnum has all bands except Ka off.
C/O Ka - neither detector has been better than the other. Both have given much more than enough time to react. Have not encountered I/O Ka with the Magnum yet. Hope to tomorrow driving back to NJ from Maryland on 95.
After what I've recently found out after doing my homework, I will be getting a Redline instead of the Magnum, and I won't even bother with the V1 anymore. From what I've been told by a radar professional (djrams80), the Redline has received more Ka Q/T and I/O that the V1 has missed... and that's not even with the new upcoming update putting the Redline up to par with the STi-R.
So in conclusion, I'm only getting 1 detector: the Redline.
Let me know how your trip goes and if you get any Ka encounters with any revenue collectors, I mean police, I mean for-profit business personnel, I mean police, I mean contract enforcers, I mean peace officers... I mean POLICE OFFICERS!
According to what I've been told, in REAL WORLD encounters, the Redline is better at Q/T and I/O than the Valentine 1.
I ran the V1 and the 9500ci(basically the same performance as a RedLine) together for over three years. In that time, the V1 missed around twice as many I/O shots than the 9500ci did, against real world LEOs. Basically, it's obvious that the V1 performs better against Q/T. Anyone with a radar gun can easily test this. But, in the real world, my experience is that the Belscort M3's better sensitivity, trumps the V1's better reactivity against I/O.
Right, but you're testing the reactivity of the detector with quick shots, where the V1 crushes the RedLine. Where the RedLine shines is sensitivity, so there is a window where the V1 won't detect what a RedLine will. From my experience, these type of encounters are more prevelant, at least in my area. Also, the V1 is known to park of a frequency for a while, after it detects an I/O shot. You have to wait at least 10 seconds in between shots when testing a V1.
I'm referring to the difference in sensitivity. There are signals that the RedLine can detect, that are too weak for the V1 to detect, because of the difference in sensitivity between the two units. Here's a couple of examples.
