    Best Radar Detector?

    You don't have any idea what you are talking about. The Bel STi does not have a rear facing radar antenna, it only has 2 forward facing radar antennas (one for X band and the other for K and Ka band.) Valentine Research has the patent on multiple radar detecting antennas facing opposite...

    Best Radar Detector?

    You don't know what the hell you are talking about. First of all, Radar Roy doesn't sell the Valentine One so do you think it will win any of his radar detector tests? The Bel STi is $499.95 not $450 like you said. The Valentine One is the only radar/laser detector with a forward facing...

    What Radar Dectector are you guys using?

    Escort Solo S2 for the loss and Valentine One for the win. The Valentine One is the best radar/laser detector and has been since it came out in 1992. All of the other detector makers have been playing catch up since the Valentine One came out...

    Need Help...Radar Detectors

    The Valentine One has arrows which are a big deal and it is also the best at detecting radar and laser. You can save from $50-$100 over the cost of a new Escort 9500i and the Valentine One is better than the Escort 9500i too. http://guysoflidar.com/august-2007/radar-detector-test.html...

    That isn't a true upgrade like the Valentine One offers. You can contact Valentine Research and and ask them to upgrade your V1's firmware but Escort will only upgrade if you tell them something is broken or not working right. If you call Escort today and tell them you want an upgrade, they...

    Radar Detectors

    The 8500 X50 is not upgradeable, that is a lie. Escort always says that about their latest models but it isn't true. Escort had the 7500 model back around the year 2000 and then they came out with the 8500 without offering an upgrade to the 7500. Then they advertised that the 8500 was...

    Radar Detectors: Whos Using What?

    The Valentine One beats the X50 in sensitivity. Every 6 dBm increase in sensitivity basically doubles the theoretical range of your radar detector on that band. Michael B, the guy who did these tests, works for the radar detector manufacturer Whistler. No Whistlers were tested so he didn't...

    Radar Detectors: Whos Using What?

    No radar detector has 2 antennas (1 faces front of car, 1 faces back of car) other than the Valentine One because Valentine Research has the patent on the arrows and more than one antenna in a single radar detector. The other radar detectors have rear laser ports for laser detection but they...
