V1 purchase, now buyers remorse?

[happya$$]

Fantastic!
I ask for help and advice and I get insulted even by a moderator.

Thanks MetalFlame and others with helpful tips.

Sorry your V1 isn't working out for ya. Honestly, if you start a thread stating your thoughts about the V1 and call it too chatty, you're gonna piss off the zombies. They have a high tolerance for falses and get arguably the best RD detection available in return for it. It works for them. This clearly isn't working for you however. I'd attempt to tweak with some settings on the V1 first (which I can't help you with since I've never programmed one).

You bought a RADAR detector. Not a police detector.

Please return it until you learn more about radar.

you really need your ****ing teeth kicked in

you are by far THE asshole of these forums, every single post you talk **** to people.

go take your meds emo kid

Somebody had to do the dirty work.

Anyways to the OP, If you can't stand false alerts or determine between falses and the fuzz, you should try(and take your chances with ) the escort with truelock.

If you are interested in the 9500ix but don't want to use Truelock you will still have considerably less falses than the Valentine. Auto mode tones the X and K sensitivity down when you are driving a slower speeds to cut down on falses and still have plenty of alert to police radar. Even if you leave the ix in highway mode and go through the city, the falses are completely bearable. Auto mute will give one brief alert to radar if you are traveling under 25 mph so if you are sitting in traffic or at a red light you will know the threat is there but won't have to reach for the mute button constantly. The red light camera database is nice for city driving as well. As you can see the 9500ix is really a city detector which performs very well on the highway as well. It's a love or hate detector in my opinion and you just have to try it out to see if it fits you.

noTe is not just a zombie, he is a completely classless clueless zombie, devoid of any thought other than V1 V1 V1 V1 V1.

I own 2 9500is, 2 X50s (red & blue), a Pro78SE, an XTR-690, an STi Driver, and A V1.8.

Your are completely entitled to your opinion, don't react to noTe, I am sure you've seen and dealt with people like him before.

Even most zombies will understand your post, the V1 is "chatty" and there is no way around it. Sensitive, but chatty.

I got a simple solution. Keep your V1 and use it on the highway. I swear to you that the arrows freaking owns the highway and the arrows are priceless. In the city, unplug it. You will never have to hear the V1 at all.

How am I a zombie? I just buy the best products period. V1 always has had the best detection overall with radar and laser in GOL tests.

"Chatty" means it is actually detecting radar. Ya know, what is what RADAR DETECTORS do. All of these newbies are all pussy hurt because their radar detector actually works better than they thought but all they do is come here and complain about it.

It doesn't matter what radar detector or filters you use. You will always have a radar detector find radar that is not related to law enforcement. If you want to speed and get away with it, you have to listen to false alerts along with real alerts. I would rather hear 10 false alerts, than miss 1 real alert due to some kind of filter blocking. That is all it takes.

Common sense for the lose! Ignorance is bliss.

What's the point of owning a RD that you can't use in the city? It's not like you're safe from speeding tickets once you've left the highway. Speeding tickets are handed out in the city all the time.

There will always be the complaint of,"I want my rd to be quiet,but never miss a real threat."Is it possible,no but can the rd manufactures get as close as they think they possible can with filtering, yes.Valentine just choses to not get caught up in all the filtering hype and stick with raw detection.That has been his stand since day one and that's what he's sticking with.Since leo's are getting better and better with their tactics,he doesn't need to change anything.Just keep selling a top notch product that works! It is designed to pick up radar and let the operator decipher..

You're definitely a V1 zombie. Trying to argue different would be kind of silly.

I just buy the best products period. V1 always has had the best detection overall with radar and laser in GOL tests.

The 9500cis dominated the last radar tests and GOL has never done RD laser testing that I know of.

Not true. I speed and get away with it all the time and listen to almost no false alerts. Even with all of its filtration, in over a year of running my V1 with my 9500ci, between the two of them, the RD that has missed more alerts has been the V1.

I would rather hear 10 false alerts, than miss 1 real alert due to some kind of filter blocking. That is all it takes.

And that's fine. That works for you. What you fail to understand is that this strategy does not work for everyone. Some people go nuts hearing all of the beepity-beep-beeps of the V1. The V1 does not work for everyone, no matter how silly that might seem to you.

Common sense for the lose! Ignorance is bliss.

noTe, you are often unnecesarily rude on this forum. You seem to go out of your way to be as rude as possible, as often as possible. There are better ways to say things, while still getting you point across.

The V1 isn't for everyone, it's highly dependent on your driving situation. All RD's false, especially on X band. I would recommend disabling X band if you're comfortable. A very small amount of LEOs actually use X band today. You will still experience quite a few K band falses however just use your discretion. If you're situated in a metropolitan area and drive it a lot you may want to look in to the 9500ix. That being said I tried the 9500ix and true lock was terrible.

Conclusion, I chose the v1 as the detection range is bar none and I can handle city falsing, it doesn't bother me very much as I know the sheer power for Ka detection on the highway.

Wrong. If any detector came out that would beat V1 with arrows.. I'd have it.

I just buy the best products period. V1 always has had the best detection overall with radar and laser in GOL tests.

No it did not. Overall V1 won.

But others have reports multiple real threats ignored by the 9500i. There are several threads about it.

Then they should know that is what a radar detector does.

Well obviously more and more people don't understand what a radar detector is. Plus, I just don't care anymore.

Ask anyone, you're a V1 zombie, apparently in denial.

No it did not. Overall V1 won.

Check again.

But others have reports multiple real threats ignored by the 9500i. There are several threads about it.

Your statement was...

If you want to speed and get away with it, you have to listen to false alerts along with real alerts.

....and that statement is false. There is no "have to" about anything, no matter how many threads you find. Your closed-mindedness is why you fail.

Then they should know that is what a radar detector does.

There are many effective RDs on the market, that false alert less than a V1. My 9500ci has proven itself to be more effective than my V1, yet falses almost never.

Well obviously more and more people don't understand what a radar detector is. Plus, I just don't care anymore.

So, that gives you the right to be rude to every newbie that comes in here? Grow up.
