Default Re: Got Popped And My V1 Valentine One Radar Never Went Off

^ It's quite possible for the Escorts to miss "quick trigger" RADAR attacks.

It's very possible for laser detection to be missed, even by the V1.

Although unlikely, this, nevertheless, cannot be conclusively ruled-out.

The other possibility is the use of VASCAR.

Alternatively, it is also possible that your V1 temporarily failed (with no residual harm, thankfully) due to excessive heat. Question - was your unit exposed to prolonged direct sunlight, at the time of the event in-question, or had it just been parked, in-vehicle, for an extended period of time, under the sun?
