if you would read the previous posts before posting jazzy, you would see he clearly stated he wasn't running both at the same time.
which makes your post completely void and unnecessary.
i love it how people are so quick to try to discredit someone's test.
Listen to the way he worded his testing. How did he know that the RX65 alerted seconds before the V1 if they were not running at the same time.
"Everytime the RX65 alerted seconds before the V1 did."
"The RX65 alerted first (by about 2-3 seconds) but as soon as I passed it drop it."
"Still the RX65 alerted slightly first then the V1, but the V1 stayed on for .2 after I passed only because after you passed you went around the bend."
It sounds exactly like he was running them at the same time but he is saying they were not running at the same time so people would not discredit his testing.
I kinda have to agree with Jazzy...That was the first thing that popped into my head when reading his post. That is why I did not comment on it...It seemed safe to say to me that he was running both at the same time based on time differences.
It sucks to hear this but a lot of people on here post fake testing results for reasons unknown. Not saying this one is fake but it is just a fact of this forum....and normally I will be the 1st person to let a new guy know his testing is worthless but I was sick of the drama
Thanks for the support Aaseavey! It is nice for somebody to call it as they see it too.
people need to read through all the responses before posting. that way, we can avoid the same crap being said over and over, which is very annoying, such as when a 2nd person felt the need to correct my math mistake. if you would've read through the discussion, you would see that he stated a few times he didn't run them together.
anyway.

i'm going with ace racer on this one. he has been a very respectable and non-biased member of this forum, unlike others.
i'm surprised you aren't taking his side as much as you hate the v1.
Where did I ever say I hated the V1? :roll: I have said the V1 is not as good at picking up Ka band over hills and around corners then the others....but I have never said I hate the V1...I just don't love it and treat it like gold like you doQuote:

and its entirely possible to give time different. you travel at the same speed to the same point, start a stopwatch when each alerts, stop when you reach it. you can throw in the distance factor to figure the time out.

If that was the case he would have said one RD alerted 2.72 (or whatever) seconds sooner then the other. Think before you post plz
the results aren't what i was looking for. i would LOVE to see results that say the v1 kicks @$$ in Ka all around. but i would be VERY skeptical to accept any results that say this because i know this isn't the case.
i just take offense that you and jazzy feel the need to call BS on someone who is trying to help us all out. he took time out of his day and schedule to turn around and do the test, why cant we just thank him whether we agree or not and not be dicks about it?
how would you feel if you posted results that you know are real and someone was calling BS on it?
oh, and i dont treat it like gold. if you would take your head out of your ass you would see how skeptical i have been of my v1 in the week i've owned it.
Ok let me be more specific as to why I said the 65 alerted 2-3 seconds before the V1. I looked at the white lines on the road and mentally marked in my head where each detector went off at. The highway has many side streets (near town) that break up the lines into about groups of about 20 white lines before they stopped to allow cross traffic to enter the highway (in the center divider painted in yellow) For example, the Bel alerted on the 7th white line in group 3 from the starting point. The V1 would alert 2-3 seconds later or about 3-4 white lines in the same group of white lines. That is how I figured seconds. I realize that this comes across as being fake, but it is an honest test. I just got excited and didn't think it would be necessary, but apparently it is now. So if you feel that way then by all means go ahead, but for me I know it was real and that is all that really matters.
A special thanks to ryansandlin for trusting and believing in me
Respectfully,

Listen...the reason we "call BS" on peeps reports is so new guys who are looking at buying a detector doesn't base his/hers decision off of it. We do not want people to get the wrong idea...and yes new people to the world of RD's can be influenced by a single report. We know it is just another report but a lot of new guys think all other reports will be just like the one they seen.Quote:

This is all I wanted...I never said your test results were BS as the other guy said I did... I was just saying they sounded a bit phonny from the 1st post....Thx for elaborating keep up the testingQuote:

I am sure it would sound more fishy if I was saying the V1 beat the RX65 just because I am a V1 owner and user. Of couse I still use my RX65 in my other vehicle so actually I use both. At least I can say that I have evaluated all top three (V1, RX65, X50) detectors and favor two enough to use them both. The X50 is a great detector too, but I like the features of the RX65 and V1 a little more than the X50.
So once again I am sorry for misleading or potentially misleading new users into thinking that the RX65 is better just because of one test that may not even be considered a test. I feel like not posting anymore results, but I am just going to keep an open mind and watch how I word things in future posts.
Regreattably,
Ace :(
fair enough.Quote:

Thanks for making me realize that so now I know!Quote:

Hey man don't think your post is worthless...it is a great post. We just wanted to make sure the results were legit. I love hearing that the RX-65 alerted before the V1. It proves what I have been telling people since I have owned the V1
Here is one point....Aa far as lab numbers I know the V1 is the most sensitive even on Ka band. What I was thinking that this is true yet the off-axis sensitivity was never or could not be tested....So what I am thinking if you run a test in a nice straight flat road the V1 will alert prior to all others but if there is a bend or hill the others seem to alert first.
Basically I was just really disappointed with the Ka performance around corners and over hills with the V1. But I think I have a really good(few) RX65...Ah well V1 sold on ebay with concealed display for 415.00...not too shaby if I say so
:lol: :lol: ROLF :lol: :lol:Quote:

So I will be as specific as I can be from now on. But I have noticed the winning on straight roads and losing with hills and curves (V1 that is) How odd?Quote:

Then after the hill + curve combo there is a curve then it goes straight for some while with another YSI (Your Speed Is) then after that there is one around a curve but facing the opposite side of traffic. And then there is the way back!!! :wink: Well I have some serious testing to do. Granted it's not KA band but still it will hopefully benefit all of us that must worry if K band is a real threat!!!
Well off I go :arrow: and thanks again for the encouragement and advice for future testing :!:

Take video so we can actually see what the differences are in response time so there can be no dispute. :)
Great idea! I will however have to learn how to put it on here so everyone can see it. But definately, that way as you said there is no dispute only if I edited the video :roll: :lol:Quote:
