axis008 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Most people swear by Valentine1's and their arrows. If I were to buy a radar, that would be the one to get. -ben

dshap13 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Yup...Once you live with the arrow's, there's no going back. Got a V1 last year and love it.
SpawnGT Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 i got a solo s2 wireless radar detector, i love it, i have two now, so if you wanna buy the other one id be willing to part with it for cheap, its according to all the best wireless detector out there. they sell for 340, id willing to give it up for 250 if ud like.
bobo69 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 the best radar detector is in-between your ears just don't drive like an ass hat and the jersey boy wont bother you
Hagarr Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 What you need to look for in a detector is information. Which one provides you with the most? Valentine 1. There is no other that is more informative. Spend the cash...to save cash. Brian
Guest subiecity Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 2 things 1) NEVER RELY ON A RADAR DETECTOR THININ ITS GONNA SAVE YOUR ASS EVERYTIME, it will help alot , dont forget it only picks up cops who have their radar on, IT DOES NOT PICK UP ALL COPS, if their radar is off well they are undetectable, 2) get a V1,...i spent 200 on a scorpion and it actually works great and saved my ass quite a few times i wouldnt trade, but the v1 is great just cuz of the arrows otherwise they all work pretty much the same
Kargurra Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Valentine 1 is supposed to be the best - 2 radios that provide directionality. I have a Whistler that's pretty decent, and I can disable specific bands, so when I'm travelling down the highway and the "traffic cameras" send out their x-band radar, I don't have to listen to it. I'm sure my unit isn't as sensitive as my friend's Valentine 1, but he can't use his on our local highway without going crazy. I don't believe Valentine 1 can disable any bands.

Guest subiecity Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 so wait, a radar detector does not pick up cops who arent using radar? Â well, no radar detectors pick up cops....they only detect their lasers DUH:p
Bdubs Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Radar detector for what? So you can pull over before you see the blue and reds a flashin?
Guest subiecity Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 na belive it or not they do help, especially for the cops who are hiding and u dont see em till last minut...helps alot
The Don Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 V-1 Love the thing saved me lots..even if ur not"speeding" and just following traffic(above the speed limit)..Saved me that way...I'd say its worth the money
praedet Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I have had BOTH the V1 and the Passport 8500... Save the money and get the Passport.
Hokiebird Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 It's between the V1 or the passport 8500. I have a V1 and really like it. Â If you are using one you still have to adjust how you drive and learn how to read the detector. Even then it's still very possible to get a ticket by instant on or laser. The only 100% way to avoid being pulled is to slow down.
praedet Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 That's why I have laser Jammers on both cars

digitalh3lix Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 i dunno how well the v1's work. passport 8500 x50 in my opinon is good when the cops have their radars going, but they never do. basically radars i think is worthless. i have had the x50 with the blue leds for about 2 years now.
V4LG7 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I have a Passport, not sure which one never bothered to look. Mine works fine, it has saved my ass plenty of times. Radar detectors are definitely worth it.
Skillz Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Get the 8500 X50. Google "radar detector" and read the tests for yourself. The V1 isn't what it used to be.
subyroo Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I am running the Bel RX65 and it works GREAT! Low falses and great range.
