2. This is wrong... the Passport can be upgraded, and without sending it back. Uses a USB cable, and both the location database and the detector software (it's a software, DSP-based unit) can be upgraded.
3. The Passport has an "Expert" mode which allows you to track and display multiple bogeys across multiple bands.
Hey, I think the V1 is a good unit, you're just propagating bad info.  |
All good stuff there!
And Randall, I love you brother, but this part made me laugh...
"Jeph, you said that when your passport goes off, you slow down regardless of the source.
I do not do this. I look at the arrows and then decide if it's a threat."
The beauty of the Passport is... it doesn't go off unless there
is a threat! I guess if the detector doesn't block false alarms, it NEEDS the arrows (ha, crutch).
I'll say this though, if a detector could do everything as good as the Passport AND have arrows like a V1, there would be no debate here. (As long as it doesn't look like a V1.)
