Valentine One or Escort Need Input

[kenjoe2001]

I have been using Valentine V1 for several years and have everything extra for the V1 to help cut down on some of the unnecessary noise but I have read a lot about Escort and I am tempted to try one out. If I was to trade in my Valentine one for a escort which one should I get. I do not leave in a big city and do more highway driving and going though small county towns. So I would like some input on what I should do. Stay with my V1 or try a Escort. I would love to have something that has the range of a V1 without all those false alerts. Thanks for any help.

I've been a V1 "zombie" for years, but also found that my V1 was way too "chatty" on K band. Problem is, with my older .863 the cost to upgrade is $289, so its basically like buying a new detector.

I'm currently using a Redline, and couldn't be happier. Amazing detection and way quieter than my older V1. However, on a sidenote, the new V1 are supposed to filter out a lot of K band "false alerts" but I haven't had the chance to drive with one yet. And, you still can't beat those arrows...

Have you tried YaV1: http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...1-support.html

Near bottom of this thread has my V1 settings to quiet it down: http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...g-android.html

I enjoy my Escorts, but with YaV1 you can have it all.

I would encourage keeping the V1 and maybe adding a RedLine.
