Yeah definitely, it’s worth it…personally I looked for one for a LONG TIME for a decent price and the lowest I could find was the one I bought, at $355 shipped iirc.
This was shortly after 1.8 came out though, so it was nearly brand new.
They hold their value REALLY REALLY well.

yah i’m not even worried about re-sale, i just didnt want to drop like 400bucks, but i’m real tired of getting pulled over in the beater, and my passport fuckin self-calibrates and beeps all the time, way to annoying to leave on. :angry2

Dude the V1 seriously is the shit.
Youll buy one and never look back.
Just do it, it’s worth it…I mean the first two times, or even once it pays for itself…but you have to learn to use it as a tool, and not just something that beeps at you when a cop is around.
Oh, and program x-band off and always keep it in “A” mode.
It has three different ‘smart’ filter modes “L” for advanced logic, small “L” for logic, and “A” for all, or no filters.
I once got NAILED at 67 in a 45 by a sheriff when I was in logic mode, so i was HEATED because I didnt think he had the radar on because the v1 never made a peep.
So as I’m pulling away I switch it over to “A” and get full strength Ka.
I will never use logic mode again.
X-band off, full ka/k/laser sensitivity, and “A” mode at all times=nice safety buffer.

A dollar short a day too late Swifty =(
I have mine setup exactly like Benny does and I love it, the other day on central ave I got a Niskayuna cop from about 5 miles away. I just crossed 155 on central heading towards Schenectady and I got one weak Ka beep ahead. I kept on driving and kept on getting one weak Ka ahead and I’m looking around telling myself “no way, it’s this far down, where is this guy!?”
I finally found him, just pass the Hess on the left side, sitting next to Langan _behind_ a hill having somebody pulled over. Don’t quote me on it, but it’s about 5 miles away on a straightaway.
I was also in my friends car last night and he had a cheapo detector which was annoying the hell out of me going off every which way on every band.

Just hardwire it like I did in my car. When Joe and I switch back and forth between our cars, we just grab the actual radar detector, and don’t have to hassle with the cord and all that.
