The best radar detector is the one that alerts the furtherest distance from both, a radar gun and a laser gun AND tells you from what direction the radar/laser source is ! There is only one detector that can do this and it is the Valentine1 ! The V1 can also be upgraded later, something no other detector can do without buying an entirely new detector and getting no credit for the one you bought previously. The V1 has several operating modes selectable by the user and you can greatly reduce false alerts if you bother to read the instruction manual and operate in one of these modes. Go to www.valentine1.com and see what they have to say.

Most of the time people put this question in some obscure area ??
Anyway, I have owned Escorts since they were Cincinnati Microwave and have no reason to change. I stick with a winner

there was this messy divorce back in the mid-80s... the other guy, whose name I dn't rememeber, kept CM... then Mike V. went on his own, creating the g-Analyzer... and Valentine Research was created. As part of the divorce, he could not sell a radar detector for 7 years... but that gave him 7 years to engineer one! Hense forth came the V1.
