On a serious note.........
What sold me on the V1 was the following experience in New York State.
The wife and I were on our way to NYC, it was about 11pm at night, I had a Bel 985 back then. Don't get me wrong the 985 was an excellent RD, I was happy with it.
Well readers digest version is. I was in the right lane traffic very light, and was creeping up on a slow moving 18 wheeler.
I'm doing about 70MPH. I put my signal on, and began to pull out to pass. As so as I got beside the truck I got a Ka alert. I figured Ka ahead, I backed off and got back behind the 18 wheeler. After sometime I tried again, same thing weak Ka alert, dam, I pulled in behind again.........
Tried the 3rd time, bang Ka again, very weak alert each time.
Now I'm confused, frustrated, and pissed, like WTF.
4th time I tried, nothing so I poassed the trucker and got back into right lane.
We carried on, and suddenly I started getting constant burst of Ka getting stronger and stronger, I figured Ka ahead. Then my 985 goes on full alert, and about 1 minute latter NYS Trooper goes flying by.
He had been I/O ing cars from behind all that time.
This will
NEVER happen to me with my V1, those arrows rock especially at night.
NYS trooper love this tactic, sneaking up from behind and using I/O, so for me V1 is the only way to go.
