The V1 has saved my butt more times than I can count. $400 is basically one +20 MPH ticket and associated insurance rate adjustment. Even the equivalent Escort is $399. BTW-with the Valentine,any upgrade is $50 for life.
Why the arrows? False alarms? Most of the new luxury cars have active cruise controls now. Annoying? HELL YES. I find I can cause their cruise control to shut off by a hard brake check. Works well. ![]() |

I understand, Broski! I still like my 10,000 requirement, mostly because I have almost 10,000 posts.... It's all good, it's definitely not important.

http://www.valentine1.com/lab/MikesLabRpt3.asp Same thing with the Escort. You can turn off any band that you want, obviously, I agree that you should be careful about this and be certain that the cops aren't using that band in your area or the area you are going to. I find that because of where I live, if I turn off "X" band, I reduce false alerts to almost nothing. That's just me, your experience may vary... |

I have X band turned off in city mode, but enabled on highway mode. X-band has too much garbage in it when in the city and I can't ever recall a valid X alert.

No dude, the above is correct. I have had them all.
They are all worthless except the Valentine. It's not about price/quality, or price/features, and you can't get it in any another unit - it has to do with interpreting the signals these things make. The "User Interface", if you will. Only the Valentine One is NOT "the boy who cried wolf" and therefore it is the ONLY one worth purchasing. If you're not gonna spend the money on the Valentine, save it to pay tickets with.

Escort x50 Day 1:
0 false signals, 0 signals of any kind No cops sighted, first day with the radar detector is a bust due to no action. Made the complete trip to work and back, so that is good news that the detector isn't alerting me for stupid shit just yet. I used highway easy mode.
