Re: Need some info on radar detectors
I swear by V1!!! I do get a lot of false hits but it is VERY easy to tell when they are fake vs when they are real. The false hits are always weak in strength and usually only beep once or twice (which helps keep me on my toes and keeps me honest). The real hits make that V1 lite up like a Christmas tree and you know when your being hit by a cop! Also, the false hits don't happen unless your in town. I suppose I would agree that I wish the V1 didn't report the false hits but at the same time, its easy to tell the real ones from the fake ones. Besides, the direction of the radar is so important for me that I don't mind a false hit once in while. It is so nice to know if the radar source is in front or behind you. Also, I don't know if the other radar detectors count the different number of radar sources like the V1 does. I love knowing how many radar sources are in the area because if you go by a sign that tells you your speed, the V1 not only tells you that there is "a" radar source, but it tells you how many. If there is a cop on the other side waiting to catch people with radar detectors who get accustomed to not slowing down when the radar sign makes their detector go off, the V1 will tell you that there is 2 radar sources today when there should only be one. Thats damn nice information to have.
