This feature on the V1 saved my hide this weekend. Was on a rural 2 lane
road with a posted limit of 50mph, and the V1 went off saying oncoming
Ka band radar. I slowed down to 50, and about 60 second later a cruiser
went by in the opporite direction. I picked the speed back up to 75 or
so after a couple of minutes, and about 20 minutes later I started
getting a Ka warning from behind me. Dropped back down to 50, and within
10 minutes the same cruiser was on my butt. Looks like he decided to see
if I had just slowed down for him :-)

Subject: Re: DML: Undetctable Radar Detectors
Jon brings up a good point about detecting a radar in back of you. as
far as I
know the only detector which provides true 360 protection is the
Valentine One.
It's the only detector out there with a front and rear antenna.
Also I'd research the detector and find a test to verify how
undetectable it
really is I think C&D did a test and found some of the "undetectable "
detectors
were quite detectable. (say that 3 time as fast as you can!)
