eddielasvegas Report post Posted June 3, 2022 To the OP et al: Not trying to get preachy and maybe the technology (i.e., filtering) has improved over the past 3-4 years, but when I was into RDs when I had my Cayman, they were way more trouble than they were worth for me. I had a V1G1 and an Uniden R3. The V1G2 and the R7 were not out. Way too many false positive alerts which will desensitize you to the real thing. They can be fine tuned but almost everything is some sort of compromise that might hurt you. DCC, LCA and all the nanny type technologies wreak havoc with RDs. And it's worse because it's only some car brands like Honda. The V1G2 does not have GPS so lockouts are a royal PITA. IMHO, Valentine with THE RD for years and year, but is being left in the dust by other manufacturers. Also, the R3 and R7 are so good they tell you 2+ miles away from the LEO yet the kill zone is only 1/4 mile. Too soon notification is better than too late, I guess. I sold all my detectors when I sold my Cayman. I sure miss that flat 6, and now I need a calendar to measure my 0-60 times in my T4R and Miata. 😁 Good luck, Eddie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturebob Report post Posted June 3, 2022 Do the speed limit and save 500 dollars . Save lives too! Ive had one Speeding ticket in 35 years and it was in my Semi at the bottom of the hill coming in to Palm Springs. 1 mile over the limit down hill in a trap. Just saying ,Be safe ........................................BOB! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ Wildcat Report post Posted June 4, 2022 I’ve been very happy with the Escort Max 360: https://www.escortradar.com/products/escort_max_360 Easy to use, few false alarms (especially in areas you drive in regularly) and has the directional-detection (whatever they call it) that used to set the Valentine apart. Connect it via Bluetooth to the app and get even more functionality. It’s saved me a few times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
