while you're at it, ask the Valentine One reps. why it was that in the SML 2004 testing (in the speedzones article posted on the board) the V1 was the only unit tested that failed to detect POP at 500 and 1000 feet. Even the "sub $200" units from Cobra and Whistler were able to pick POP from both distances.
The Valentine people should be familiar with the test, the only thing I can think of is that they were not using the latest V1 which would be very misleading.

On the bright side was that the V1 was the only unit that picked up Laser from a trailing vehicle from 1/4 mile awasy. That's impressive given how difficult it is to detect laser from the front let alone while you're being followed.
a black bra, removing the front license plate and applying some laserveil "paint" ($90) to your headlights seems like the best combination to protect against the difficult to detect Laser. Here in NJ it seems well worth the investment since our Ex-Governor dramatically increase insurance against speeders and we already have the highest insurance nationwide.

Very satisfied with this V1, the arrows make all the difference.
