I swear by the V1. The directional arrows have become a complete necesssity with the advent of the apparent "jamming" detectors. The concept is flawed. If everyone on the road purchased jamming or transmitting radar detectors, then everyone would be in a complete panic all the time. And, the cops would be happy. However, in the meantime, we have to try and distinguish between the real and fake. When I get a signal from behind, I slow down and when the signal passes and it is some joker in a Ford Explorer, I have the peace of mind to speed up again and pass. The Valentine will let you know if a new signal is coming from behind by distinguishing it with its beeps and the LED number.
I have tried many other detectors, and gotten tickets - 4 tickets in three years. Since I started using the V1 five years ago. No tickets. It certainly is worth the money.
