Constant comparisons between the V1, Bel RX65 and the Escort 8500 X50. Everyone seems to be very pleased with the performance with all these detectors. Why not you? Another very big thanks.
No problem, any time. Glad it's all fixed.
My V1 is the best detector money can buy in my opinion and it has saved me from radar and laser tickets at least 5 times. I've been speeding twice with a person behind me, gotten hit with laser, quickly ducked into the right hand lane and seen the person behind me get the ticket. But with the rampant use of instant on Ka and laser (both virtually undetectable unless there's heavy traffic) I rarely go faster than the fast lane traffic unless I need to. Thus it's relatively useless, but still serves its purpose as entertainment and a good backup tool in case I do feel the urge to push my car or am late for something. The performance is not the issue, it's the tact of the police (which has vastly improved in NYS in the past year or so) and my insurance company that keep my speeds down to "reasonable" levels
