yea same hear. i bought the V1 a long time ago and updated it a couple times, the best one out there. there is also one called the passport 8500 or somthing like that. but i like the v1 better because you can update it so you have the most up to date radars. and the arrows are cool

I have used both the Valentine and the Passport 8500. I like the Passport better for these reasons. The Passport 8500 X50 seems to be better at picking up 'pop' radar. Also, with the Valentine, it seems to give you a lot more false alarms than the X50. They are the 2 best units around, and you really can't go wrong with either. But, the Passport is less expensive than the Valentine, so I think it is the best all around buy. I will never trade my Passport for anything else.

Unless he waits until you're right by him and then flips it on and tags you.
