I think it actually even found a cop once or twice. It's useful but I drive slower than before because it's always screaming at me. It's either that or ignore it. I want a New Escort with GPS to lock out the cr@p.
The V1 and the Escort 9500 are very comparable units. I own both.
One thing that will help you a great deal is to turn off the X band completely.
No one uses X band for radar anymore and all it does is chirp away at all the X band noise it picks up.
You can turn off the X band on both the V1 and the Passport/Escort.
