    This is a great radar detector and has already saved me, multiple times! Take the time to set it up to reduce false alerts for the state you live and drive in mostly.

    This is the most effective radar detector I’ve ever had. I’ve had numerous radar detecting units and this one - hands down - outperforms all others. The directional feature is fantastic, the range is amazing and it is consistently accurate.

    Works excellent. I’ve replaced a first generation Valentine One with this unit and have been very happy so far. The ease of programming with a computer is a definite plus. The unit picks up bogies great and the memory function is excellent. If I had one complaint, it would be the programming of false alarms. The radius should be wider and you should be able to program more false alerts in closer proximity.
