Valentine One! Yipee!!

[Automon]

I have had my two for the last couple of years and I drive like a wild man it is nothing for me to drive at sustained speeds 120+ and I don't even think about it any more until it lites up. I ride my hayabusa at sustained speeds of 170mph+ on a regular basis, so you could say that i have complete trust in this system, I won't stop anyway but it is nice to know where they are.

(just courious have you participatted in SCCA or org.'s ? It helps to cut down the addiction)

NEVER! There is nothing better than that feeling, in fact I went skydiving and thought that it was boring so what can I say. The feeling of passing cars so fast that you can't tell what color they are is better than sex. I wish this snow would melt

i have been using the valentine 1 ver 1.8. it's been a great radar but now it's considered old technology. i got 2 speeding tickets in 3 days due to this thing not picking up. pop radar. i called v1 and they say they don't have the technology yet. alot of pigs are using pop today so beware, i haul a$$ everywhere i go, but now i cannot because i don't trust the unit i have. it picks up k and ka fine, so i know it's a good working unit. do some research on the net about this pop technology and u'll want to switch radar detectors....

2 tickets = me mad...
call v1 to ask for upgrade, they say i will be charged to get upgraded when they develope pop detection. = me never buy a v1 again.....

i was a die hard v1 fan but now my opinion has changed, escort lacks the arrows but is very dependable as well.

I thought the most current ones that you can buy from Valentine 1 has pop detection? At least that's what their website seems to indicate.

wow, guess i was wrong, i called them this morning and they say their pop detection came out end of december. i guess i'm going to send mine in to get the software upgraded.

I'm pretty sure if you fight the "pop" tickets they will get thrown out. When the cops use the guns in that mode they are not accurate. It’s actually in the manual for the gun. I don’t know, it might be worth checking in to.

Do you guys have the ticket fixing places there? Here we have these chains of lawyers where you bring them a traffic ticket (including DUI!!!!) and they do the work for you. It’s surprisingly cheap, and you end up with a littering ticket 95% of the time. The fine usually is a little more than what the ticket would have been, but its better then getting a moving violation. It’s obviously a broken system, but as long as the municipalities get their cash they don’t care.

I have heard that V1 detectors receive lots of false signals and don't filter it out well. The Passport is rated better at filtering out automatic doors at Walmart, etc.

Anyone have a newer passport?
