Well, it can't be much worse than that. I strongly recommend V1 owners run their FCCID in the link previously mentioned. If your units last test date was earlier than 2016, it's time for new hardware, not software patches. I refuse to run Microsoft OS for the same reasons, patchwork updates, poor code, swiss cheese holes, hackers delight. Run Unix now.

No. Just old school. A lot better than today’s high tech garbage. And what makes you think that cops are constantly updating their countermeasures? Last time I checked, they are still using Ka band radar and laser. My V1 still can pick those up.
I really debated responding to this thread, but the 2006 last FCC test date of your V1's been in my craw. I'm surprised it does not trip you with collision avoidance? Today, post 2016 rd's block that. The optics, DSP, advanced processor, superior design, and even gold circuit boards crush your argument in favor of continued software updates for your V1. As I mentioned, your driving an Edsel radar detector. Want a fantastic long range detector, buy a Passport S55 with no collision avoidance filtering. If you drive a beater, this is your detector. Happy trails.Quote:

It picks up collision avoidance, which I don’t come across very often but I have had the unit long enough to be able to tell the difference between collision avoidance and police radar. My V1 is a classic but with modern internals.Quote:

A classic without collision avoidance rejection has skipped modern internals. Perhaps it's an heirloom? ;-)

V1 FCC (FRN) registered number 0007441603 last hardware update was July 10, 2006. The V18A hardware frame is beyond obsolete, it's dead. Software updates are smoke and mirrors in my opinion.

Maybe mine needs upgraded to current level but for the most part, I will keep it at it’s current software/firmware level. I don’t really need collision avoidance rejection as I don’t come across cars with it very often. Seems that the TMF setiing works quite well.Quote:

Now i am sure you arent getting on to me for something.
If you have faith in your outdated device, then by all means, enjoy the outcome - ticket's. There is no excuse. You certainly aren't "the golden child of traveler brilliance" with your faith in ancient RD hardware tech, and software crutches.Quote:

Pardon me. I thought you were going on about a V1 Gen 1. Now we have something to talk about! How do you like your V1 Gen 2?Quote:
