Valentine1.com The best you can get.

If not, Escort 8500 at Best Buy I think.

Call Valentine Research at 1 800 331 3030 and ask for a returned V1 and you will get 10% off the retail price of $399. It will be the latest version V1.8 POP2 w/ Euro-mode and 3.851 firmware and that comes with all the accessories and a 1 year warranty.

Sometimes they will tell you that they don't have any returned V1's at this time, this is to encourage you to buy a new one at retail. Tell them that yoo dpn't mind waiting and to put your name on the waiting list. According to most people, they have a V1 shipped to them within a week at the longest.

Lol, you can turn off the X-Band if you read the manual on the V1. LOL.

Before purchasing one, I recommend go to the site below:

http://www.radarbusters.com/support/...mendations.asp

Depending on what your budget is, there are other models that are just as good but with less features. Also listed are cordless models and laser jammers.

My friend likes my V1 over his 8500 Escort because it seems to go off sooner, plus the arrows tell you where the cop is.

I'm not sure since I've never had one but I think they only sell them online. You may want to place an ad to see if a local private seller may have one for sale.

I don't think the 1st gen. model had that feature, though I could be wrong. Good unit anyway.
