Most of the pigs are using laser now...
But I don't think the old radar is going to die anytime soon.
V1 all the way. I don't have one but everyone recommends the device.

Passport 8500 X50 has most range for earliest detection.
Valentine V1 has arrows. Nuff sed.
Both are AWESOME.

Josh, next time u see Clint check out his setup.
His V1 setup is pretty slick.

I've got the 8500 mounted to my rear view mirror with the mute switch next to the shifter for easy access.

Take it easy,

Yea I hear the Passport 8500 x50 has a tad bit more range as well. Some people say the V1 detects better but on the bands that dont even matter. Arrows are a plus though, its all personal preference. With either one you should mount/hardwire it to the rearview mirror.






speaking of cops... there were ALOT today. whats going on?

Where is RadarKing? I can't believe he hasn't chimed in yet...

Escort 8500 X50 or Valentine 1 both are the best. Each year one or the other wins some "shoot out".

I have the Escort and I like it a lot.

As for LASER, you need the "Blinder 20" I think it's called.

Ebay

Mikes mount (search)

Invisicord (search)

I have both and it's WAY easy. Took me 20 min and most of that was just leveling the unit the way I wanted.
