V1 comparison from a previous X50 owner

[carlito]

got it all for $355. came with everything and doesnt have a scratch on it. and no f_399 ive never had 3.818, ive never had a V1 before . the only thing i can complain about is the ghosting but thats minor lol. i think i was pretty lucky to buy from the guy i did. when i bought it i selected 2-9 day shipping, but he gave me 2-3 day for free, gave me a tracking number, and always responded to my e-mails. but i cant wait to really test it .


thanks ReadyRadar i didnt know that. wish i had.

$355 thats a little steep but if you are happy then we are all happy with yoou :wink: anyway like i tell everyone keep us postted on how good or sucky it works for u

I am definitely considering a trial run at it.

Like f_399 said, I want to see if I can live with the falses for the ability of the arrows. Wink

Understood, but don't forget you're also gettng GREAT Laser detection and GREAT K band detection!

I feel that K Band mute for 30 seconds keeps my detector pretty quiet. Oh, and of course disable X if possible.

I have both my friend and i still think the x50 is one good radardetector its right behine the v1 in front detection if not a little better at times><>? :P :wink:

[f_399]

i didnt say it wasnt good

it just doesnt have the same WOW factor as the V1

dont get me wrong its a great detector! i just bought an 8500

if you read my past posts i have all praises for the 8500/X50

Raven you are right, they are both great detectors and there are definitely features on the 8500 that i miss.

There is nothing like knowing where the threat is at, where it is coming from, and how many of them there are... Like F_399 said you know much sooner when you need to slow down, and when you can get back on the gas. No sitting around for miles droning along wondering where that signal is coming from... Just faster, easier, and more peace of mind. Sure you can eventually figure this all out with another detector, but it is simply difficult to compare it to what you get with the V1.

The downside is it is a lot more information to digest and can take some time to read the nuances of the info the detector is giving you. The more you use it the better you will find it gets.

Congrats on your new detector.

Congratulations on taking the plunge A-Town!
I also had 3.818 for just over a year before upgraded to 3.826.

Now, whos next?..........AirMoore, Raven? :P

C'mon guys...you know you want to.

I was getting one ( a V1) since I joined the forum... look at my earlier posts, the X50 is for the bike, the V1 is for the car... but again I am waiting until spring/summer.
