    Default Upgrade Valentine One?

    Hello:
    I am glad I found this site and forum.
    I have a Valentine 1 that has served me well since 1998. It is worth every penny of the price I paid for it! This is a RADAR and LIDAR detector.
    Anyhow, I am looking for advice, or recommendations on upgrading this 9 year old detector. I live in Arizona, and am not sure if POP is in use here. The web site at ValentineOne said it is still the best X and K protection, and does not recommend the upgrade unless POP is in use in my area.
    Thanks for any advice,
    Bill

    Keep the 1.7 you have, great unit! no ghosting K band, no E's, no falling out of tune, no J out real LEO's, and the newer laser is too sensitive (laser cruise control)
    OK now no explaining or arguing I am going to bed! Nite Nite!

    when 1.9 is release, plan to upgrade about 6 months AFTER it comes out.
