CP's Instant On Rant and Response Time

[happya$$]

CP has posted an article on his site basically defending Belscort's way of thinking

You just like to start stuff huh?

Doesn't surprise me at all really. Belscort cant protect against it? Downplay it.

Regardless of what he says, its an issue. Also...

The Valentine One takes a different approach. This very sensitive detector is designed to alert almost instantly to every radar signal, leaving it up to the driver to interpret the alert. It ships with POP mode engaged and this, coupled with high sensitivity, results in more false alerts, particularly in town

I cant wait to read his first reviews of the redline.

Oh, you mean the mountain climber. Wonder if he ever bought a new 35.5? If not we might have to break that out sometime.

The whole reason the Redline was built was to compete with the V1. I would think they would make it really responsive like the V1, if it still has lag and misses I/O shots like some other Escort models whats the point? I guess further testing when it ships, will show if it still will have these issues. That defense article written by Craig P. makes me think those issues have not been resolved.

Also does not seem like Escort is taking this issue very seriously which is very disappointing. They would just rather say we are crazy, and all the good cops around have to much integrity to use Q/T.

I guess we are all "armchair experts" lol

Now we know CP reads this website. Another waste of my time just like SML.
Has anybody read this from valentine research?
Detector Tests... What you should know

"If you're standing on the brakes -- and I mean braking to the point of feeling the telltale shudder of the ABS -- within one second of an alert, you may have a chance. He'll probably have your speed but if he's a stand-up guy, he may well elect not to make the stop."

"Why not issue a ticket? ...... I can count on both hands the occasions when I've hit the Transmit button and seen the front of the violator's car suddenly dip in response. In the radar's Target Speed display I'm watching the number tumbling, dropping 20 or 30 mph almost instantly. The guy may be over the limit but he's clearly taking care of business. It's a safe bet that someone exhibiting this level of situational awareness is probably driving safely."

The above are 2 incredibly negligent statements.(borderline idiotic)

- A stand up LEO should let someone go who jams on his brakes to the point of abs activation within one second of an alert??????? Do you really think someone can be surprised by an alert, asses it's validity, check the rearview mirror to determine if enough distance exists between himself and the vehicle behind, then apply full braking within one second?

Honestly, that is waaay more dangerous than the speeding violation, and if I were an LEO, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the heavy braker over every time.

It's funny that the ability to detect short burst I/O wasn't even an major issue until some members of this forum brought it to our attention a few weeks ago. We were all aware of response times in milliseconds, but when put to tests, there are striking differences between the top end products. Now that the info is publically known, the shills come out of the woodwork defending what is in fact a deficiency in some products.

I love the way this guy who is full of rhetoric, harps on his past experiences and never produces much in the way of proof, says "we" being people who produce up to date real world video and real world testing are "armchair experts"...
