Paul_G Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I know that the users of the board favor the Valentine 1, but you gotta seet this: http://www.escortradar.com/9500i-inside-look.htm 459.00 and no adapter needed for use with an intercom. I am currently logging about 26k a year on the same route between Tampa and Ft Lauderdale, and this unit might be just the ticket, and there is a significant amount of "protection" offered on these stretches of road. Must admit, could have used the V1's arrows on more than one occasion. One time the Trusty old 8500 was wall to wall intermittently for nearly 30 miles, and couldn't pin point it. Turned out the LEO was in front, found him as he pulled over another driver to provide him a fast driving award. Been an Escort fan since the early '80s Link to comment

E30TECH Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Radar detectors sure have some a long way. That truelock is pretty neat - especially the 3rd picture they show (cant link it as its protected) Link to comment
steveknapp Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Looks like it makes owning a radar detector easier. Fewer false alarms, mark known speed traps. Sure. But for the routes I travel often I already know this. It's just making my life easier by not beeping at me as much. When in unknown lands it's still missing the counter and the arrows. Which I find key when traveling in unknown areas. Link to comment
Paul_G Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 It has the counter, tracks up to 5 or 6,missing the arrows. Wonder how it will hold up in a sensivity test head to head with the V1 Link to comment
creekstone Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Radar detectors sure have come a long way. They sure have gotten expensive too. But perhaps it is time to upgrade my 30-year-old FuzzBuster. Link to comment
