Maybe, but after ten years of V1 experience with no tickets while driving BMW 6-speed V8s, I would be hard to convert.
Me too, but I'd be more willing to consider another unit if it could match the superior information that our beloved V1's provide.

I've been a customer of Mike Valentine's since he founded Cincinnati Microwave and invented the Escort. (I still have the original Escort in the attic somewhere!) I bought the Passport when it first was introduced and then placed my order for the Valentine One before they were even shipping (I waited close to a year for it to ship.) In case anyone didn't know, Mike Valentine is pretty much the authority on how to engineer a radar detector. He left Cincinnati Microwave to form Valentine Research many years ago so the current Escort/Passport models have no connection to him or his talents as an engineer.
