I love my V1. Interestingly enough, so many people told me not to get it because of the false alarms, etc. However, since I've had it I've realized that my local PD doesn't use Ka, they use X and K bands... I do get some Ka and Laser going down the highway, but not a lot.

Like others said, you'll really get used to the false alarms, but I love that fact that it'll report more than 1 and show me where all of them are.

Story time: I was cruising down the highway going about 10 over, and I came up on a spot that is a normal false alarm (Ka), however I noticed there were two alerts, both up ahead. There was a cop hiding near the spot where the false alarm was being given... Had I not had my V1 showing two separate signals in similar locations, I would have gotten tagged. The highway is already 70 mph, so going 80 or more, that would have been a nice North Carolina fine.

That type of situation has happened to me a few times, and I would never get another detector. Plus, Alex Roy, the famous NY to LA record holder, told me to buy a V1, because that's all he uses... Alex is a pretty good friend and had a lot of advice about where to place it, etc. I have mine hidden right in front of my rear view mirror with the chord going into my ceiling and down my passenger side A-pillar.
