Regular Checkups

[Ace_Racer]

Hello All,

I was just wanting to get your opinion and thoughts on how often should you or do you get your V1 checked to ensure that it is tuned and still in sync.

For me it will be a year in June since I last sent in my Valerie for a check up in which I was told it was recalibrated although it really didn't need it. Still, I feel better that it was done anyways.

So how often should you or do you send in your V1 for a checkup?

Thanks

Ace

Voted but anxious to see what others do as well. Seems to be working well and according to Valentine it meets there latest standards.

i sent my in last dec and when i got it back (still kept same rev.) it was so much more sensitive. i would def. recommend u send it in atleast 1x a year

Really only if something seems wrong. If you leave it in your car 24/7 like me, then I'd be tempted to get it tuned once a year. This is mainly just to quell my paranoia (I need to make sure it's working right).

But you shouldn't have to send it in more than once a year, if that.

I was actually thinking of dropping my V1 off to get tuned.

I'll drive by there Monday during my lunch break and drop it off. 8)

I had to vote never because I don’t have one :? and I want to see the results. :wink: To bad the V1 doesn’t tell you when it needs to be sent in or tweaked. That would be cool.
I wouldn’t want to send in my RD every year just to be sure it was ok. :?

That's what the E is for. People send it in to have it tuned. Any radar detector can become out of tune.

In that case if i had a V1 i would only send it in if i got an E. :wink:

thanks.

I can't put a time frame on it. Generally, I'd send it in if I suspected something but not just because it was X months.
