9500ix only beat all V1's on 35.5 Ka (including the one with Ka Guard Off) and 9500ix beat 2 out of 3 "normal" V1's on 33.8 Ka.Quote:

I also read the 9500ix did fairly well. Personally, my 9500ix is right on par with my V1.8. I was shocked at how bad the V1s did. If the Ka guard is on by default, then I wonder why it was turned off for the 3.872?Quote:

Welcome back. Thanks for the review, another reason why Valentine still rocks, but we definitely should have a major update soon.
I switched a couple months ago to a V1 from a 9500ix and haven't looked back. At all.
I don't know what you're looking at, but with the scientific tests, the V1 beats the 9500ix flat out on every test by about 400+ feet. That 400 extra feet is gonna help the top speeders A LOT. Especially when it can detect QT :)Quote:

Exactly why this same old argument makes no sense to me. They both have pros and cons. It all depends on where you live and what will work for you. Until we get all the goodies in one RD it up to the individual to decide unless you can afford to run multiple RDs.
Absolutely the best post I have ever read on here, thank you for the common sense.Quote:

I agree V1 beat 9500ix on many tests but it can't take that honor on 35.5 Ka.
You are "flat out" wrong. Yes V1 will find door openers first, but a 9500ix will find a LEO running 35.5 Ka first.
I would use the term "barely" beat the newest V1 3.872 and that is only on 35.5Quote:

I need full protection on every band including X around here, so overall performance matters to me the most.
Imagine a $400 V1 stands with if not beats a $1600 detector on many bands.
