Valentine 1, nuff said.

 

<img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> Valentine 1. It is the best (unless you get an active jammer(illegal in most states)

 

I have a Bell 980i and I have never had a problem with it.It detects radar a good distance away before you even see the cop. They usually go for around $350.

 

here is a good ?an... back window is tinted... would the v1 still work with the back window tented? if not i should just go with a cheaper detector yes?

V1 has the best ratings on most sites.

 

Like the bel because it has a pivoting mount and can be mounted lower Left hand with a direct wire in to the fuse box. You can't see it from behind

 

I second the passport 8500. It has been out benchmarking the V1 in a lot of the articles I read.

The directional feature of the V1 is nice but (to me) not worth the extra 100 dollars.

There is some useful info here...
