As far as detection range goes, I and everyone I know that has a V1 keeps it in the least sensative mode.

TO Brandon1978....
You said your V1 is kept in the least sensitive setting. I live in a developed area with alot of stores and alarms that trigger cheaper detectors. Is that why you keep it in the least sensitive mode ?
Do you get a lot of false readings?
I would not consider a V1 but after reading RadarKings post it is now on the top of my list.......
I am concerned about its size though and finding the right location in my G35.
Your thoughts please......

Not sure if this is the same test but refers to SML as well.

What are the "SML" results anyway.

From the test, "Each detector was given three tries with the laser aimed at the license plate. "N" means no laser reported by the detector, "Y" means the detector reported a laser gun transmission. The results are reported by the number of tries, i.e.: 1,2 and 3. A response percentage is given to the number of reports from the detector when the laser was aimed at the license plate. We then moved the vehicles to the 1/4 mile cone, as the laser beam diverges with distance, to see if a higher percentage of detectors reporting laser was observed. Recent court decisions have stated that laser may not be used past 1,000 feet."
Radar detector manufacturers, radar/laser gun representatives, state/local police officers, magazine reporters, and countermeasure companies once again gathered on a remote desert road to participate in Speed Measurement Laboratories, Inc’s. annual radar detector test.

I'm happy with the Bel 985 I have. I also have the Blinder M20 Laser Jammers(2), mounted in my grille. This setup has saved me numerous times in my time with the G. I highly recommend the Blinder unit if you are in a state with laser units on the street. No matter what radar detector you have, you aren't getting all the protection you need from laser, if I understand the reports written on the subject. Just my 2 cents.

I keep mine clipped to the passenger side visor with the wire integrated into the car. At night everyone behind you will know you have a detector, but I never felt like buying the concealed display module.

I am using a several-year-old K40 RD650 that I had from my M3 Sedan a while back. It has saved my butt from sure tickets many times, and I am sure it will continue to. Not the highest-tech, but effective.
But...I will have a V1 before long. It is the best, and most error-free on the market. The $450-500 is hard for me to swallow right now...but I'll have one before long.
