Radar detectors?

Went with the ****** IX, solid so far and app is pretty nice for alert of something upcoming someone hit before you.

Not yet. Ordered yesterday, scheduled to be delivered next week.

I based my decision on reviews, not firsthand experience.

Here's a good example: Buy a Radar Detector » Vortex Radar

There are also a bunch of youtube comparison reviews.

Yeah I've had both V1 and ******. They are both good. I have leaned more to ****** over the last few years. The app is very helpful to have when carplay is going etc. Nice feature.

I've had multiple escorts over the years, and currently have ****** 360 in my truck. A few years back I ran both a V1 and an ****** 9500ix next to each other for a weeks worth of driving around Houston, and to/around Dallas. The 9500 was always a hair sooner (in my experience) and less false noises. Just my 2 cents.

Would you sell one?

I like being able to send the V1 back and receive a brand new one in a day or two. Sure it comes with some cost, but beats the hell out of having an expensive paperweight. I believe it was 1997 when my wife bought me my first V1. I used it until a couple years ago. We currently have 4.

I use it on my cycles too. Zip lock plastic bag keeps it dry. Works great even in the bag. I am in East TN and with Va being a frequently visited state,..(no radar allowed) we just drop the V1 connected in the floorboard. She yelps just fine down there as long as the volume is up. I know some other brands have pushed V1 & perhaps even bested the V1, but like a comfortable pair of jeans I find it easy to go back. I have considered trying some of the newest ****** models. Very high end as well & have a great following. I am very accustomed to the V1s tones and arrows. People fight change I reckon.

So looks like the V1 is the radar to get
