I find the V1 to pay for itself whenever I take a long trip to LA or to San Francisco, and it picks up well enough for me to slow down.
There is no doubt it is a great detector...my only point is at that price level there is newer technology that is better. Honestly, in 15 years there are only 2-3 models today that exceed the V1...not bad huh?

But if I were buying today, I would not get the V1.
