V1 Valentine 1 radar detector not responding in EURO mode

V1 Valentine 1 radar detector not responding in EURO mode, versus an Escort X50, against a Multanova 6F photo radar. The X50 provides adequate warning distance to slow down, while the V1 stays completely silent and misses the radar (as it only scans to 34.26Ghz and the photo radar was at 34.21Ghz, so the V1 fails to warn).

bueydk84: You are the ignorant one. We ran them separately as well. We have quite a few runs of this. I have videos of it, because we though the X50 might interfere with the V1. Same result... NO WARNING by the V1!

Okay, the Multanova photo radar has drifted from the "original" properly tuned 34.340Ghz, all the way down to 34.210Ghz. The wideband X50 picks it up, the V1 in EURO mode doesn't.

The V1 in wideband mode picks up the signal about the same time or slightly worse than the X50.

Wait until your country starts facing Multanova's the other way to catch drivers then see how good the Escort works!!!! you will be out of pocket. THE V1 IS THE BEST DONT LET THIS VIDEO CHANGE YOUR MIND THERE ARE SO MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROVE IT!!!

Having two radar detectors in the same car? Wtf? I understand your trying to test them but you do realize that when they are THAT close they cancel each other out right? Do a real test by purchasing one of those shitty $30 hot wheels radar guns and use distance markers on a unmarked road and see what detector goes off 1st. :)

v1 doesn't respond in euro mode sometimes,but always responds us mode.

Actually if you look at the video the V1 is not set to A (all bogies) and perhaps it could be set to BIG L where it would not alert to K band for 30 seconds. The alert comes in the Belscort around 0:57 and the video lasts 1:22 min. Figure that one out. V1 WINS hands down.

V1 scans to 34.21 GHz. In fact, euro mode with software version 3.864 scans from 34.16 to 34.44 GHz.

I do not know what version you use in the video but V1 does warn from photo radar and, by the way, much better than the X50, which is not useful with photo radar.

The Valentine One can,t see euro mode at all. The tester tryed this same test with one detector at a time and the same results happend. More clear facts that Mike Valentine has no idea how to make a radar detector and never has.

This video is one of my all time favs.

The V1 did not see euro mode at all so much for the V1 being the best.

I also like how this test is real world and not in some lab in Mr Valentine,s home

[lukeevans1978]

Do the test again i dont beleve it!!!!!

it looks like ur x50 is mounted crooked

bull shit, you did something or didnt do something to the v1.
