The arrows are so misleading. Yeah, maybe if you PASS a cop then you see the arrows change and you go back to speeding because you think you passed the only cop...

That's why my buddy got a ticket and I didn't. I had my Max on spec or meter mode. Saw a signal before the V1, slowed, then passed the cop, then he started booking it again and I saw that a different frequency was coming in... And knew there was another cop... My phone call didn't get to him in time.




And you CAN hear it. At 100MPH windows down smoking a cigarette while blasting JT, you won't hear it at all and with the 9500 maybe a bit. It's quieter, but as long as you aren't deaf or as deaf as me, you should be good to go
Advantage is that the Max is better than the 9500 at taking out unwanted signals. A feature the V1 cannot do at all

Um, the V1 has 3 different signal filter settings that work just fine.

Also, Valentine updates it's circuitry when the need arises. You can go on their site and make sure you have the latest tech by entering your serial #...then send in your V1 and have it updated if you don't.

Do others offer that option? I'm unaware if they do or not.

I've owned my V1 for 10 yrs and used it mostly when riding my CBR1000RR in the twisty roads of the Angeles Forrest. My V1 has never let me down.
It has paid for itself many times over.

sounds like your friend just didn't (or doesn't) know how to use his V1.

kinda like that one guy blaming his MT car even though it was him that sucked at driving MT in general.
