I just got the be V1Gen2 and love it so far. What makes it so unique for me is the pairing with the JBV1 phone app. It's a very quiet combination and is also easy to add lockouts.

I'm sticking with my "old" Valentine Ones. Sure can't see a need for longer range, and I'm very used to them.
About the only time I look at them is when I suspect that there may be more than one source, other than that I go by the sound.

Of course, no detector helps if the cop uses the instant-on feature and you can't see his car in time.

I run a R7 since it first came out. I was considering the V1V2 and saw the new escort. R7 suits what I need.

Watch Vortex Radar on youtube. He has a ton of reviews on radar detectors. I know he is also active on rdforum.

Uniden R3 (paired with Waze) has saved me at the very least 5 tickets since I bought it about 5 or so months ago.

You might want to PM the Hickster. There was an RD thread a while back & he seemed to have the PD in your area pretty well figured out.

Things are pretty simple around here and I've had great success with the RDF7's I bought on a closeout for $130.

Much depends on where you live and what sort of traveling you do (i.e. what 'threats' are you likely to encounter). Proper set-up can also make or break you.
Also keep in mind NONE of these detectors work well against laser. If that is a significant issue where you travel, then you need to have a laser jammer (and know how to use it) in addition to the RD!

Hickstah hea. The Rocky Mountain Radar - Scrambler. Have been using these for 22 years. 1st to come out with a scrambler. Kinda sorta ill eagle in some but not all states. Just the weird ones,,, BOB,,. They will pay your ticket, butster not the points if levied one. Hear is my story, sum have herd. I dated the most beautiful Pinellas Co. Detective, she also was seeing the Lt of the SWAT team, but. A good thing to do when you just got a DUI back in 2001, but the playboy of the county and she didn't drink. Good joice. She took me to Sat DUI school and good friends with the instructor. She took me to school in the Crown Vic. She hated my radar- Scrambler dector. Because the scrambler worked. She called it a Demon before the demon was out,,, maybe. But, during work days I wood have workers in the F250 doing 85 MPH and blast thru Fl HY Ways Patrols. And saying this boys, watch this. Right thru the instant on ers. They would pull out, stop, pull out and stop. Like my dates I haven't had lately. Or fiancees. Not like that detective, with her SWAT team boy friend,, not a good move. But ster we tested that scrambler against her raggedy ole dectavive ass machine and worked every time. Got a new one this past year,,, new car new scrambler. Still same ole results. Does all that the ota critters do, but a scrambler that attacks instant on.
I have one of the fiancees hanging curtains in my new place and she will make a good wife one day.
