Who makes the best radar detector?
What are you guys running for a radar detector? I'm getting a PY ITR and I think it would be wise to get one. Valentine One will probably be my choice in the next few weeks unless I read otherwise. You can never get a straight answer from the automotive journals because if they say X is the best then Y won't advertise anymore and vice-versa. Tell me what you think.

The Valentine One looks really good since it tells you the number of radars around you and where they are at. I would really love this feature b/c when I drive by a place where there's a lot of false alerts, I usually just ignore the radar, but sometimes, there's acutally a cop there! I have the BEL wireless one (I forgot the model number) and when I DON'T ignore it, it works really well.
radar detectors choice
I've put 43 thous miles on 97ITR#30 with 3 tickets( 10, 12 over and one too fast to clock) with a Valentine One operating on board. V1 is definetly the best choice. We all know instant-on radar can be devistating, but no detector can give total protection. Instant-on is usually in KA band, i believe. Both 10 and 12 over I was shot in KA Instant-on from the other direction and the CHP were going faster than me. If I did not have the V1 i would not have a licence in America. Luckily I get m ay YA-YAs out on the autobahn in Germany every year. I just bought a 2002 CTR for Europe, and I keep it at my aunts.....it's another Speed Racer story. Drop me a line if anyone wants to hear how it purrzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Next a hidden V1 for the CTR for the Autoroutes(francaise) and Autopista(italian) Shawn
