I'm a newjack to the radar talk, so slap me with a trout.
Question: is there any custom installed valentine 1's avail? Also I see the only difference between the Beltronics STIR+ and the escort passport 9500ci is the ability to finer tune the Ka band to limit only to what your local law enforcement actually scans with to eliminate false positives? Anything else I am missing? I have an escort battery operated unit now (whatever the best one was 2 years ago, the solo2(?). I really like the custom installed ones. Is there a 'serious' difference between these V1's/beltronics stir+ and my old solo2 ? I just can't stand the detector flopping around on the windshield or having to put it away so thieves don't see it... |

Have to disagree. Detector is not gonna save you from laser. Once the detection system detected the laser, it's already too late, the cop already got a reading about your speed. Only way to save you from the laser is laser jammer.

If you turn off everything but laser and Ka band (what CHP use in CA), does V1 still freak out with Driver Assist? I like those features and don't want to have to pull a fuse just to have a functional CHP early warning system...

For instance I drive without X band because X band is not authorized for law enforcement use in Florida. Even if a LEO uses it, the ticket won't stand. However in rural georgia i have to switch it back on.

and the Detector just figures out the rest. That's why I like the built in GPS. I won't trade it. Only time I get hammered with false alerts is if I go on some road trip to some other city I don't usually drive through and obviously that's one time in a million.

It is an ultra-fast, instant-on method of radar gun operation using existing radar frequencies. Radar guns operating in POP mode can get a speed reading of a target vehicle so fast that most radar detectors will not consistently signal an alert. At this time, there are very few radar guns in service in the U.S. capable of POP mode operation.

Waiting for the V1 disciples to shed some light on that part. I'm a strict Escort dude myself.

The V1 Manual is pretty easy to understand to see how to change the mode.... You don't turn off specific bands you select how sensitive it is to certain ones.

Escort allows you to turn off X-band radar since so few municipalities still use it and the false alerts from garage doors and burglar alarms mean that you're probably going to ignore an X-band alert anyway.
I learned from Stealth.Pilot on another thread that the Beltronics STiR has the ability to filter out specific Ka-band segments. That's an incredibly useful feature that will all but eliminate false alarms even if you are traveling a route that is new and thus, can't rely on GPS for pre-marked locations. Just find out what frequency your local law enforcement uses with the built-in detect mode and filter the rest. Too bad the highway patrol in my neck of the woods also runs LIDAR. |

I ran a Laser Interceptor group buy on the other forums when I got my first laser ticket and needed some jammers.
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=688361 Do you guys want me to email Cliff and ask if the same type of group buy can be run for you guys as well? |

I really want to to a LI jammer, but it's illegal here in Texas. If I have it on my car, even it jammed their laser gun, the cops will still stop me give me a ticket.
