Brand new valentine one radar detector. I bought a car from a friend and he gave me an old valentine one with the car, i called valentine to see if there was an upgrade for it. I knew i could resell it here for more than here it is. I bought it from them just to sell and hopefully make a few bucks. I removed it from the box for pics to show condition is in fact brand new and that everything (including the receipt) is included. They processed my order on 05-24-10 and it has sat in the box until tonight when i have had the time to list it. I currently have a valentine one and an escort redline (their top of the line) and the v1 is an overall better detector, hands down! Here is a websire that does 100% independant radar detector testing with real police radar guns. Keep in mind there are 3 frequencies used in ka band, 1 in k, and 1 in x band. This valentine one is a 3.872 version, which is the current version. About every year or so, valentine tweaks the software inside the unit. You cannot tell what version it is from the outside, so an older outdated v1 will look identical to mine… Please ask as many questions as you would like. Also, look at the instant-on results. Escorts have a huge problem with lightning fast instant-on radar. Instant-on means if the cop sees a car he wants to know the speed of he briefly (split second) turns on his radar and turns it off a again super fast. The only reason for a cop to use this method (which is common) is to defeat radar detectors and it will be almost all of them on the road…
