Is it time to switch from V1 to R3 ? Any recommendations ? Thoughts ?
Is it time to switch from V1 to R3 ? Any recommendations ? Thoughts ?
I own a V1, but the testing I have read gives the R3 a clear advantage in range over even a custom swept V1. The V1 seems to have better BSM filtering though and of course arrows which in some situations are a big help, but not everyone cares about that feature.
Valentine Research has had several new patents approved, but a new V1 is vapour-ware for now, and anyone's guess when or even if they will come out with a new RD, whereas the R3 is real.
My V1 with YaV1 is adequate for now and bug free, and I'm willing to wait, for a while, for a new and hopefully improved V1. It's a tough call.

Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.
If you have a current up to date V1, buy a V1LE and find an Android device to run JBV1 App on if you don't already own an Android phone. It is the difference between Night and Day when using a current V1 with the JBV1 App.
