Just remember, having your detector high on the glass and/or close to your rearview mirror really affects your laser detection abilities. I understand you may need to hide it from plain sight, but the best location is 6-8" above the top hood surface in the center of the glass.

Nothing beats the Valentine One in radar and laser detection and that is a fact.

Dont forget this one.

The ability to track and prioritize multiple radar sources, on multiple bands, and give directions is invaluable. Once you drive with the arrows, then go back a detector without them... you will feel crippled when it goes off. The State Patrol here in WA use a low power k-band transciever mounted in the front windshield of cars and motorcycles. Then will come up in behind in traffic in an unmarked' and pulse you from the rear while moving. It takes only a few seconds then they turn it off. It looks like a false on virtually all detectors except a V1 because they read the bounce off the cars in front of you. Not only do you get notified that it is real, the V1 is smart enough to know to alert to the original pulse behind you, not the bounce in front, and you know where the cop is and if they are getting closer or farther away from you in traffic.
When you read some reviews and they say that the V1 doesnt have a "City" mode and doesnt have user selectable setting, they are wrong and dont understand how it works. There are a few reviews on the Web where it is obvious the tester didnt read the V2 manual nor read the whitepapers that the user is referred to on their website for advanced configuration.
I dont work for Valentine, rather I have owned 10 or more different detectors over the years and the V1 is the best from my point of view.
On long roadtrips or rally's I will run the V1 along with my Uniden BCT8 and I catch planes using VASCAR and everything on the ground.

Yes, he is biased against the Valentine One. Radartest.com is run by a guy named Craig Peterson who works for Bel and Escort as a shill so he bashes the V1 every chance he gets and promotes Bel and Escort products. He got busted trying to sabotage the Guysoflidar.com 2007 radar detector test and he had to part with a couple thousand dollars on top of the $1000 radar gun that he hid under camouflauge on top of a mountain to throw off the testing.
Guys of LIDAR - Radar Detector Test Sabotage
I wonder why he was trying to sabotage the test? It could be because the truth hurts and people would realize that his "testing" site is a scam.

Radar detectors are legal in British Columbia, im not sure about the other provinces/territories though... (I work in the traffic division at the police department). Its the jammers that are illegal because they disrupt radio frequency which is a federal offence unless you apply for a license from Industry Canada, and it is not likely that they will issue you one.
