Valentine 1 radar detector

Around here, they are not radar at all, but coils in the road.

POP generally refers to an instantaneous mode of measuring speed that generally hasn't held up in court.

Pop is what alot of the traffic cams and red light cameras work on.

I agree.

hold the power knob down for 2 seconds, it will go from "A" to a half "L", then press it again, and it will to to a full "L"...full "L" is Logic mode, were it filters out a LOT of false signals, but also isn't going to give you the the full power since it is filtering out a lot of stuff....

I use full "L" in city, any "A" (all) on freeway....

I have seen differences between my two (different firmware levels) as well, but mine's been on laser alerts. Their company is very good - I've had my older one in once for repair. They couldn't duplicate, but replaced guts anyway and never a problem since. I'd give them a call. Busy folks, but good service.

I actually have two now (one in both vehicles) which is why I feel this new one is way too sensitive compared to the old one.

I put the both in my vehicle to compare but the old one makes the new one alert just sitting in my driveway, but the new one doesn't cause my old one to alert. Leakage? Strange?!

Good Radar Detector website

Here is a great Radar Detector website,
the best I've seen.

http://www.radarbusters.com/

It gives lots of info and some comparisons.

(I've got an older Escort Solo 2 cordless, and still love it!)
