This Valentine 1 isn’t new at all, it’s a 1.7 hardware version, which isn’t as good on Ka as the newer units.Second, if you want to run a valid test, grab a buddy, give him a 2 way radio, have him drive away a few miles and then turn back. Run your radar on other cars and tell him to radio when he picks up you. The latest Valentine 1 is the 1.8 hardware and 3.872 software.
You said “no that would be called illegal.” when I asked if he used that in his personal car. The only way it would be illegal is if he lives in VA or DC.
Yeah, I’m done with speeding for the most part. I stopped getting tickets once I got the Valentine, but eventually I realized it’s better to just not speed 99% of the time. It doesn’t save as much time as you think to go faster than 70 or so anyway. I might go pretty fast to pass, but I drop the speed quick.
I agree, however it’s important as a driver that uses a Radar Detector to not speed in open roads if you’re alone… and to wait for another driver to speed ahead of you so you can use him as the bait. I’ve been using that method and have no tickets. The Valentine 1 is awesome
I like your idea of waiting for someone eles to speed ahead and for the most part I do the samething. I like Escort radar detectors myself but its all really what you like. I try not to speed at all if I can help it.
that is not a new v1………
