Most all the departments over here use laser anyways, so it doesn't matter. Which is why I said you should get a lidatek in the first place.

This issue has now been resolved with an updated version (v3.25) and the detector now is now one of the quieter ones! In addition, the newer Valentines have a "J" [for Junk] feature which will automatically identify some Ka-falses as bogus LO leakage and auto-mute them out - a very nice touch, indeed
We should also note that the Valentine falsed the least on Ka-band relative to the other two radar detectors and in the summer season - Its been suggested to us - that this may become more pronounced as there will tend to be an increase of "cheap" radar detectors on the road as people do more vacation traveling.
Here the Valentine V1 and Bel Pro RX65 performed virtually identically. For some reason, the Escort 8500 X50 seemed to lag a bit as compared to the other two. If we drove routinely in NJ, this may become more of an issue and we would feel a bit more secure with either the RX65 or V1.
We have now lived with an updated version (v3.825) for several months and believe that despite some small glitches in the "J" programming, that this detector has become our new reference.
and provides superior laser detection [even compared to the newer models of Bel & Escort] - an incredible accomplishment given that it's almost two decades old!
If you're looking for the maximum sensitivity [particularly with laser] and/or require directional information about the radar source, then the Valentine One still stands alone.....If laser was our primary concern, then we would opt for either the Valentine V1 or the Escort 8500 X50.
