Hardwired V1, no laser hammer...best way to avoid instant on radar/laser is to never be the first guy in a pack...

A lot of V1's, which I expected.... Still after all these years among the best performers available, often top-rated depending upon band and scenario. Guys of Lidar Not many stealth or remote installs, which does surprise me. Cost or difficulty for DIY?
