Valentine One
Well guys this is probably not the right place for this but........
I went to Houston this morning and just got back, I am happy I purchased a Valentine One, drove 90-95 the entire way there and back and I got saved 6 total times.......I like the warning that I got from incoming TDPS officers, Only one time it went to Laser and that was coming up to a hill....I guess its been paid for in one trip.

I see X band used in PA and in NJ. I think they use it so that ppl like us will ignore it and not take heed to our detectors warnings.
