The Christmas light story is real. LOL, I just like seeing V1 owners go nuts defending the Valentine. Its like they are the only ones that can bash ANY and EVERY other detector. |
No... no... I did not intend to come across that way. Perhaps I'm better off posting before a few beers versus after.
What I'm saying is
In My Opinion, the X50 is a disappointment and IMO someone's money is better spent on a better detector. Yes, I do use a V1, but I am NOT advocating that everyone should. The V1 suits me fine, but my next choice would be the Bel STi, which is an outstanding detector.
I use the V1 because of the arrows, the bogey counter, and it's fantastic sensitivity. I put up with the chatter in exchange for the other stuff. [Note: I've been using it with a Cheetah GPS Mirror for a few weeks now which has made it much more livable and much less "chatty." I'll write up a review on the site when I have time.]
There is a lot of Ka band where I drive most often (bucho laser too). From my experience, the STi and V1 are the best at Ka detection and all-around function.
