No problem, there is an abudance of information on here regaurding it, but I along with other will help as much as we can. Get used to the basic functions, before you mess around with too much.

i think i have read enough on these forums to know that no detector is going to save you from a direct Laser hit. You need a jammer. However when mounted correctly they both give you a fighting chance to detect the splatter. Perhaps the V1 is better. One day when i am rich as you i will be able to afford both and make my own determination, until then i will take the opinion from those able to offer evidence and not just bash the other guy. Thanks for your input anyway.
by the way i do give credibility to your opinion on the V1 as you own the other 2 as well. As i said one day i will find out for myself.
While I might be out in left field, would you consider pooling your detector collection, sell it, and step up to the Big Boy?Quote:

I might just do that. See if my friend will lend me his V1 for a while. I want to play with the X50 for a while first though. I do know from owners of V1s that once you get used to the directional arrows you can't live without them.
In Jersey on route 80 Easr once in a while LEOs sit in the median right under the overpass, state trooper is out of his car with the high leather boots and the whole get up holding a radar gun like his pistol aiming righht down the highway. It scared the heck out of me, luckily i was in the left lane running along side a tractor trailer. I guess i wasn't peaking out long enough for him to get a fix.
I think many will agree that the 940 is probably the "best value" @ $125. It really does quite well. I can't say that the X50 performs that much different when comparted to the 940. Keep in mind that 99% of my encounters are K and Ka.
I think we can look at the recent GOL testing for hard evidence comparing the X50 against the 940.
yes i saw the GOL testing and they were both even in performance except the x50 outperformed around curves.
Again, also features are important to consider as well.
