I questioned Valentine Research about the "Arrow patent"

[Jag42]

I got a email regarding a question i asked about the arrow patent. The V1 rep informed me the patent has ran out but told me they are working on things as we speak and told me to stay tuned on the V1 website. I also asked about turning Ka guard off and POP off to increase range and they said it made no difference?

Great way to find out if they are telling you BS or not. Ask the question you don't know and follow up with one you do. If they don't answer the one you do know correctly chances are the other answer was wrong too.


VR is doing nothing, will do nothing, and really hasn't done nothing since the V1 first came out.

At best there may be a V-nothing some day.

Besides, if they keep there price point no one will be able to offer the same features for that same price and quality.

Their boilerplate response is to say they are working on things, they have been saying it for years.

This guy speaks the truth. We have heard this cookie-cutter reply since the Sti came out (it ramped up when the Sti came out)... and even before that.

Im sure they are working on something since the Redline has been attacking there sales. V1 has never had a reason to change until the Redline came out.

Completely Agree!

I see Escort and Whistler patents all the time and see nothing from VR. Unless Mike doesn't want to protect what he's doing nothing is in the works.

RedLine isn't really a big seller, so i am sure it hasn't hurt VR.
