Radar...lookin at getting an X50...
I really want to get a V1, but the X50 is like half the price! Ive heard great things from both, but is the V1 rly worth the price of 2 X50s?

I have the Valentine and I love it. I can pick up the k band signals from up to a mile and a half away and ka bands about a mile away. As u know the valentine tells u how many signals it is picking up as well as what direction they are coming from.

do not get the x50 POS
i bought this last week, the x50 blue. installed and drove 70 miles back to school, pos went off 3 times and almost gave me a heart attack. it showed k band at full blast. wtf. waist of damn money. Also, i realized that i have to dismount it each time i get out of the car; a huge burden. I'd say save the $ for some tint or gs210s. the best thing for police detection is checking the rear view every 10 seconds, checking for break lights up ahead, know the hot spots, speed when other speeders are around, and not speeding for long amounts of time. radar detectors are not worth the $. i've been speeding way past 100 (once in a while) for 2 years and havent gotten a ticket. thankfully, this x50 has a 30 day return policy.

Why didn't you disable the K band in town?

Bla bla bla bla bla bla..... just don't speed@@!!!!1
Honestly...I've had a v1 for about 5 years now. I've been pulled over ...I'd say 7 times. However, the only damn problem....is their instant on crap. If they flip on their radar from anywhere...aimed at you....your basically f u c k e d. All of those 7 times have been exactly because of that. Doesn't matter how good of a radar (v1, x50, bel...I don't care you name it) you have at that point. Just got my last ticket 2 weeks ago
. It's gettin' irritating.

So you got hit by pop or laser? There's no way around the pop but you can get the M20 for the laser...<--this is for the OP
