carbon is there anything besides ka range and immediacy of response before option 6 off that the rx65 has on the v1???

X-Band Detection-Winner=V1
K-Band Detection-Winner=V1
Ka-Band Detection-Winner=RX-65
Laser Detection-Winner=V1
Voulme-Winner=V1
Rear Detection-Winner=V1
Durability-Winner=V1
Price-Winner=RX65
Am i Wrong??
actually Jamal is right.............because there are 3600 seconds per hour, 60 sec/min X 60 min/hr so thus 60x60 is 3600Originally Posted by ryansandlin
so 55MPH IS infact 80.6666 FPS
Price-Winner = X50 RED actually
dont mind me just being the usual smarta$$
ahh!!!!! he IS right!
Wow... it's been 3 years since college algebra- I was thinking there were 1200 secs in a minute... I feel incredibly stupid
The guy said he got 3 second earlier warning going 55mph before the V1 alerted.
Go to onlineconversion.com and you will see:
55 mile/hour = 80.666 666 667 foot/second
The guy said 3 seconds at 55mph so you multiple 80.666666667 times 3 and it = 242 feet. This calculates the difference in distance between the 2 detectors according to the poster.
83 mile/hour = 121.733 333 333 foot/second. So this means it takes about 2 seconds to go 242 feet at 83mph. Since the RX65 beat the V1 by 242 feet the V1 would alert 2 seconds after the RX65 if he had been travelling 83 mph because that would be 242 feet.
Sheesh. Touchy crowd.
I don't know how much wider the margin could get than umpteen to zip but anyway I've already said I'm prepared to back down to "remorselessly crushed" Can't say fairer than that.
It kind of seems stupid to be arguing over the merits of a detector I own with someone who's been expecting theirs in two days max for about a week but here goes.
Just about any detector on the market, even the lowliest Cobra, will give you adequate protection on X and K band. The problems are Ka and Laser. You've already acknowledged that the V1 lacks a little something in this area (Ka) and if you had Multanovas you'd be even more worried.
So that leaves Laser. The V1 has it's laser abilities trumpeted endlessly but I would contend that if you relied on the V1 to save you... well you'd be one sorry little fella. What you're looking for with laser is scatter, if it's a real hit you're toast. So what percentage of the V1's laser alerts are from scatter as compared to real alerts and falses. From my experience it's around 5% and if I'm being generous I'd give you 45% real hits and 55% falses(when I asked this question of other people I got a range from 80% falses to 95% falses but like I said I'm being generous). So if you slam on the brakes every time you get a laser alert on the V1 45% of the time you're dead anyway 5% of the time you may be saved and 55% of the time you'll look like a cretin. That may be how you organise your life but it's not good enough for me.
So you buy a jammer and Veil and Lasershield.
And switch off the V1's laser alert and enjoy your drive.
Even better, you put the V1 in a drawer and use it for backup.
And buy a detector that's really good on Ka...
Now I wonder what that could be. :twisted:
I agree with carbonhed on one thing I didn't mean to have such a heated debate over the seconds into mileage (feet) But it is nice to know the specifics when you get to be professional and detailed with RD's. Anyways, I feel that both detectors would have given me just enough time to slow down if I was going say 65. I might be going over even with that. It would be pretty obvious with a front dip and a back rise. When I do come into such a case I will shift into the lowest gear possible without crashing, lightly tap the brakes to aviod the dip, and pull ever so lightly on the emergency brake to get me back down when I am in a rush to get somewhere. Normally I don't speed only when I need to get to the post office before it closes at 5 P.M. :wink: But seriously, I normally don't because I just like having something that makes me happy and drives my family nuts with all the beep'n and brap'n and brap brap'n!

I've tested my RX65 vs my V1 and I am not so sure the Bel wins even on Ka. On all other bands the V1 beats the Bel and I have video posted to prove this.
However, to be fair I don't have any video of the Bel vs the V1 on Ka. I hope to find some LEO's soon that are running Ka, so I can get some real world tests. I have a feeling it is going to be very close.
Bottom line is, they are both really good RD's, so use the one that fits your needs the best. Either way you won't go wrong!

Ace, I know you aren't really a n00b around here which is why I am going to ask. . .
Did you run both detectors at the same time??
Other than that - great testing. :-D
