Valentine 1 Version 1.8

**metload1** · 03-31-2006, 08:17 PM

Hey,

Anyone have a Valentine 1 (version 1.8)? I was thinking of getting one, but I heard some people calling it a "chicken little" saying that it had bad falsing problems, especially when compared with the version 1.7. How is the falsing?

Thanks

I have the 1.7...

I`ll forward this thread to my friend (has a 1.8) and ask his response. To the best of my knowledge its usually the cops he has more problems with, not false readings

I must not be following the V1 scene very closely

Is there some new reason to send my older (v.Gee-I-dunno) ones in for another upgrade?

i think the newer v1 version is best. head over to www.radardetector.net for more info :xyxthumbs

Tuan209- Thanks for that link (heh heh, that`s another site I better not get too interested in, I spend too much time online as it is). Lots of good stuff there.

Maybe it`s time to send a few of our V1s in for upgrades again. With, oh I dunno, maybe six or seven of them I never plan to buy another new one!

The new thing now is POP mode, that`s the protection the 1.8 gives you.

I love that site! I`m a member there and it has been indispensable.

No doubt! Heh heh, I have to consciously avoid getting too intrigued by such sites

I gotta go hit up the V1 site and see about this POP business...

Good idea. It can`t be used to give tickets, but sometimes they do anyways.

Check here to see if it is used in your area:

Predicatably, OH does use POP. Guess I`ll be upgrading; any way of beating instant-on sounds good to me. I`ve been incredibly lucky recently (the LEOs weren`t paying attention and I was able to get it down before they got me zeroed in) and I`ve probably used up all my luck for a while. The M3 seems to ge a bit of a ticket-magnet, probably the "yuppie in a Bimmer" thing...
