I've owned the valentine one for years... by far one of my best investments ever. Basically what puts it above the rest is that, it counts the number of radars picked up, and gives you a direction of which the radar is coming from. So when I drive by my local library (where cops sit all the time) as I approach if it reads any more radars than 1 I know a cop is in the parking lot. Or if I’m driving down the highway and the direction points behind me and gives me a weak signal, then a min later begins to give me a stronger signal, i know the cop is approaching me from behind. Like silver said, if its legal in your state its a must have.

I've had the V1 for about five years now and it works great. The directional arrows give me a tactical advantage and let me know where to look to see if it's a CHiP creaping up from behind or just someone sitting on the side of the road checking traffic in the opposite direction.

Sensoro Silver Bullet Cordless. I had the Passport which was great (as others mentioned) but mine works fine too. It helps from giving too many false alarms because it's not as sensitive.

Does anyone know if radar detectors are legal in California? I don't believe it is... not sure. If it isn't , what do you guys do when you get pulled over? Hide it real fast?

The Valentine One is the best radar/laser detector on the market today.

"This year, the measurement of the radar and laser detection abilities of each of the over $200 units gives the Valentine One ($400) a small edge over the competing BEL Vector 995 ($260) and Escort Passport 8500 X50 ($300 with red display or $340 with a blue display) units."
V1 is the best in laser detection:

V1 has the best rear radar detection because it is the only detector with 2 antennas to locate radar:

V1 is the least detectable detector by RDD's or Radar Detector Detectors in states where radar detectors are illegal. The Spectre III is the most used RDD in the world and it can only pick up the Valentine One if it is 166 feet or closer which is better than the X50 which can be detected 954 feet away.

The Valentine One which accounts for only .6% of radar detector sales wins every poll when it comes to being the favorite detector. The X50 doesn't even get an approval rating as high as George Bush's worst rating. :lol:

RX-65
12% [ 9 ]

Other (state which and why)

Radar Roy from Radarbusters.com said this about the Valentine One, "Just spoke with Carl Fors from SML, his website will be going online tonight with the 2005 results. He has declared the V895, 8500 and the Valentine One as the top performers. Motortrend, who was also at the test, will be declaring the Valentine One as the top detector based upon its detection of laser.

Radar Roy said, "There were results that they (Guys of Lidar) got during the test that I was not exactly pleased with, such as the discovery of the Blinder not having Stealth Mode installed and the Valentine beating out the Escort and Bel in the range tests. Even though I don’t sell the Valentine, it does have slightly better range than both the RX65 and the 8500 and I also show this same fact on my site. Would love it to be the other way around."
