Has any one went from a valentine one to a escort 8500x50 ? I am getting tired of moving my V1 from truck to car back and forth . Does any one use the escort 8500 or rx65 if so how do you like it ?

 

I had the 8500 and got two tickets in a year. Sold it on eBay and bought a V1, five years, tons of road trips and ticket free.

 

i got a 8500, i like it alot. only problems ive had is dropping it. after i drop it it will intermittently say laser and beep like mad. but its only like 50 bucks to send it in and get re calibrated and last time i got a whole new board

 

Dad has the valentine and I have an escort 8500x50. I bought the Valentine for my dad to put in his Corvette one Christmas and since it was winter he put it in his truck and it has never made it out since then LOL. I have tested it out a few times when driving truck though and was impressed with how far away it was detecting.

Have had the Escort in my truck for a few years now and it's hit or miss. I have had it detect a cop around a corner when it was pitch black out form a LONG ways away and then other days I get right on top of them before it makes a single noise.

I just try to watch the problem areas and ease up on the gas, haven't use the Escort in a while. If interested I might be willing to sell mine, I have an additional hard wire kit for it also

 

Valentine hands down. Pricey though

 

i used the cobra 15 band(not sure on the PN, saved me numerous times in my 350z. awesome product for 150$

 

i wish they would make a valentine in blue. because i love the range of it .

 

i was told to get one of the brand new escorts. apparently its top of the line, not sure on the pn. but after reading this thread it seems like the v1 is older technology but still kickin @$$ so maybe ill pick one of those up. i borrowed a friends once on a road trip and it was awesome.

 

same here! Except more like 8 years. I JUST got a ticket a few weeks ago...V1 was unplugged.

 

the arrows are sweet too lets you know when u pass the threat
