Hmmmm – so when you mount these
gadgets – does it make a difference if its low or high? Gee Dave, I gotta ask these questions –
I only drive the speed limits and slow down when external conditions warrant. BUWAAhaahaahahaahahaha DOUG From: David Handa
[mailto:dave [at] davehanda.com] While I own and have
used V1’s for over 15 years (yes I have upgraded), the new GPS based
units look very promising. If I were doing it over again, or needed
another one, I would probably buy one of the various versions of the Escort.
The GPS greatly reduces the number of false alarms. The sensitivity is
much improved from what they produced even a few years ago…they are
getting very close to the performance of a V1. The only thing I would
miss is the directional arrows of the V1…that is very useful info to
have. (I drive several hundred miles per week in my sales job up and down
I-5 and around the NW) From:
teamwenz [at] yahoo.com [mailto:teamwenz [at] yahoo.com] I own a
Escort 9500 ix and only have good things to say about it. It has a GPS
component so it remembers marked locations and false alarms. You than purchase
a subscription to the online database (nominal fee). Every one else that owns
one and subscribes to the database all contribute and the information is
collected. When you update the database to the detector you get all of the
updates from all over the Mentioned in
a previous reply they also have a Garmin looking GPS unit with all of the
features as well. The Valentine
is a good unit as well but not as advanced. It does have directional arrows so
you know the direction of the threats and it keeps track of multiple threats as
well. Still both are the best on the market. Mike W. From: Adam

I use a V1. It can be updated with new software for a minimal cost. My only problem with the laser is that it will signal
with some LED brake lights and some home security products. Sounds like
your V1 is exhibiting some signal discrimination errors. It's perhaps
ready to go back to Valentine for their "upgrade" (a relatively cheap
service to refurbish the unit and update it, which usually results in them
simply sending a completely new unit.)
