On the flipside, Steve Klopman’s passport has picked up radar WELL before my V1.8 (most recent version as well btw) in ‘A’ (“All” mode, aka no filter, with x-band turned off) mode got a hit.
Also, I seem to encounter an issue when multiple detectors are around where the V1 will give a significantly reduced signal strength, or not giving a hit at all. Weird.
Run an 8500 X50 here. Very happy with it. Can’t go wrong with the V1, but it looks like something made in the 1970s. Ugly ass thing to have in your car.
I have a V1. It’s served me well. Couple of saves. I don’t drive like a maniac all the time though.
The key to ANY radar detection regardless of brand/technology; is to understand what ways the police use different speed detection equipment, and the manner in which they operate.
Agree 100%. You have to understand how the radar works, and the fact it can reflect off of other objects and that the cops can adjust the power output of their radar guns.
all the time, just happened monday on the thruway, was doing 72-74 cruising. silver 996 went buzzing by probably 85-90. 10 minutes later i went right by him with the yellow and blue behind him :lol
