First Impressions of the V1

[Cips]

Hope your unit isn't stolen.

$250 seems a tad low for V1.8 3.8XX.

WOP, not exactly the same as a stolen gun. Not a lot of police are searching vehicles for stolen Rd's these days. Awesome contribution to the thread though..........

Moving on, unless you know for sure that LEO's are using X band in your area you should certainly turn the band off. As far as alerting on K band in the city; that is just part of the RD world. You got a great deal on a great radar detector. Congrats!

Where the hell did that come from? If the unit's stolen it won't be serviced by VR. He's looking out for the original poster.

Seriously guy? Contrary to belief not many people send their RD's back to get serviced for every little update. Sure there are members of this forum who are "latest is the greatest" folks that will always waste money on worthless updates but if there is a major update it will likely cost the OP half of what he paid for the detector in the first place.

So enlight of everything, if the RD was stolen; keeping in mind the detector is not, how big of a deal is it really?

The OP asked a couple of basic questions about his RD. The first reply was as I said a WOP. I will not harp.

Peace and Love

I appreciate the discussion here.... although I do not know what WOP is. Can anyone tell me? For some reason, I can not find the acronym section now.

I did encounter a Mass State Trooper today on the Mass Pike (I90) and he had already pulled someone over. It was C/O K band. I got a couple low level Ka..... can that be from other radar detectors?

Well I know WOP as in what Italians are called but I don't think that was used like that here. WOP = Way Over Priced?

OP = Original Poster

WOP = What Original Poster

WTF....

OK - I did some driving on I-195 East and West bound today for work. I passed 3 Mass state troopers on a 20mi stretch with absolutely no detection. The troopers were camped out under bridges and elevated from the road about 10'. The "cruisers" were perpendicular to the road and my car. I was driving with 5 other cars going the speed limit (65).

I didn't have X off... only POP. Do you think they were running I/O or no radar at all? I was sooo pissed that I got nothing on my V1. I haven't gotten any Ka band yet, only X and K while driving around the city.

The troopers couldn't have been using Laser unless they were shooting from behind. Maybe I'll turn my POP back on even though I don't think they run that here in Mass.

What do you all think?

Perpendicular almost always means laser, and even the mighty V1 will miss a laser shot, not that it would help you to know you got shot, because they already have your speed.

Jammers are your only defense against laser.

Leave POP off, it's useless and not used in many places of the country. it's also not legal to issue a citation with only POP mode.

Perhaps there was a Cobra radar detector close to you. It could have just been a coincidence. Cobra radar detectors are notorious for setting off high end RD's on 33.7
