Radar Detector Poll
Radar Detector Poll After all the radar detector informstion i have heard, it seems that when considering price the top 3 are all equal in performance. I want to know who is using what and why they think itis better than the rest.

I have the V1. I think they are all great performers, but once you have the directional arrows, it is very difficult to live without. Plus the bogey counter helps as well. Short story: radar box on side of the street with a cop about 1/4 mile down. V1 told me there were two signals and once I got passed the box, the arrows told me there was one more ahead.

I can give hundreds of examples of where the V1 was more valuable than the competitiion. I don't like driving without it at all. I'm a V1 junky

You really cant beat a company that is going to stand behind their product and allow you to upgrade it with new technologies.
They also make the bests radars....go figure
I bought it used on ls1.com. Owner of the board was selling it. Not sure why it was so cheap, but it works perfectly. I thought maybe it was a rip off, but for the price, it was worth the risk.

People are paying it all the time. Why dont you ask the people that actually have the detector
I have been using a V1 since 1996. I had it serviced in 2000, and I am getting ready to trade up to a new V1 pretty soon. I get a $170 discount if I trade in my old V1. Pretty sweet!
