(hopefully this can be changed with the USB at some point)
Moving radar doesn’t pick up your speed very far it’s almost 1/2 of stationary radar, and over a hill can be deadly for any RD.

Its almost imposable to go from a V1 to a 9500I (I have only seen 2 or 3 people) the V1 is a very different breed of RD, and in most cases the 9500I takes too long to get to know, especially how it alerts if the signal is a true threat and you don’t immediately react.

I know you will be much happier with your V1, the situational awareness it provides is unparalleled. Personally I hate falses and can’t stand when my 9500I falses, even though it’s extremely rare. I know when ever I get just 1 beep from my 9500I I immediately slow down. I hated analyzing my old 8500 to figure out if it was a false or not. I can’t imagine how I would be with a V1.
9500i has its advantages over the V1 dont get me wrong.... its just not for me
