well its good to know that people with the V1 are having a hard time choosing. That means I have a piece of equipment at least comparable to the best out there.

BTW Why don't they sell V1's at like circuit city or best buy?

Just a bit of advice. Radar detectors will soon be a thing of the past. Where I live in MD the all but are. KA band radar is so old at this point that I do not see any advantage between a 150 dollar and a 300 dollar radar detector. Laser rules the roost now and unless you protect against it your done.

That's why you go with either the SR7 w/jammers or the blinder.

If you want the best radar/laser detector, get a Valentine One.

If you want the best laser jammer, get the AL, LPP, or the soon to be released in the U.S. Laser Interceptor.

There are big problems with the new Escort 9500i and the majority of people are returning them because of less range than the Valentine One and the 8500X50.

http://www.radardetector.net/viewtopic.php?t=22803

They are locking out signals from door openers and the 9500i is not alerting to cops that shoot radar in that area. Owners of the 9500i are also complaining that signals that they lock out are not staying locked out from the day before. They also say that their Sirius/XM radio is cutting out because of the 9500i and its GPS function.
