More like the old old old man on the block who is looking for one more fight in the ring. Mike V is getting up in age and looks skinny himself. Did the old fart pull one off? Testing in due time will find the pros and cons.

V1 Gen 2 on Viagra? It boasts new fangled military tech, and a bullet proof case. Maybe they think you might have cause to shoot it? Joking aside, I wonder how the case material might alter performance?

I think the case material is to keep the RF issues down. One has to give Mike V credit, he can not be second which drives him to good and make a great product. He is one of the good guys!

Calling MV an olde fart is a bit harsh, dontcha think ?
As far as new Military Tech - early Testing seems to indicate the "Tech" certainly is in need of some refinement, eh ?

@Kmeleon - can you be a lil' more specific regarding = "I wonder how the case..."

What performance do you suspect the case might alter ?

Mike is a great guy. His age has nothing to do with the product and if anything shows his experience and wisdom in building products. He is obviously a very blessed man to be able to continue doing what he is passionate about. Also assuming it's his last round or however you put it makes no sense to be. None of us are promised tomorrow, and Mr. Valentine could be selling his products long after we are gone for all that we know. Life is a gift. All we have is this moment. We can't go back and we have no promise of tomorrow.

Great question. My first detector was a Tandy all metal case sensors looked forward only. All my Uniden are plastic cases that un-obstruct 360' performance. A magnesium case makes me wonder about 360' detection. Besides that, the case is very expensive. Why?

I tend to lean toward Alabama. He's old, they never improved the hardware for more than a decade, and software updates are no excuse for that. The "old fart" must prove I want one, and I don't. Amazon has none, so it's like the new Chazcron Stingray that never showed up on a dealers lot.
