Objective tests don't agree (except for one Car & Driver test performed back in 2002 when the X50 didn't exist yet).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 2Original post

That is one of those topics that has come up so many times it seems like it is on monthly re-call. Do a search and spend the rest of the evening reading 'opinions'.

POST 4Original post

Have Valentine 1 in Ford Explorer/window mount. Escort 8550 x50 in Audi A6 /window mount and K40 in CS hidden in front . All work well. Escort picks up more falses . V1 has useful directional arrow including rear. K40 in CS unfortunately is low to ground so have tobe more vigilant and observe blind terrain when flexing CS. Very happy with V1.

POST 5Original post

Not only that, it is in the WRONG forum.. moving it now...

POST 6Original post

I heartily recommend the Escort Passport 8500 X50. I had both the V1 and the Escort, compared the two for a week, and sent the V1 back. For me, the V1 falsed way more than the 8500 did, and performance-wise the 8500 can't be beat - both in my own personal experience and thru various objective radar detector shootout tests (like speedzones.com and radartest.com). For me, the directional arrows are way overrated IMO. It's not that difficult to implement 'directional arrows' in a radar detector; if it was that important other manufacturers would feature it on their detectors as well. Not saying the V1 is a bad detector - it's an excellent unit. But is it the best? Objective tests don't agree (except for one Car & Driver test performed back in 2002 when the X50 didn't exist yet).

POST 7Original post

I find the V1 directional arrows very useful. I'm pretty sure other detectors don't have them because they are patented.

POST 9Original post

V1. The directional arrows have saved my butt more than once. I have an Escort, and Ialways miss the arrows when I use it instead of the V1. Falses are caused by more detector sensitivity. X-band is X-band, hard to sort them out except by ignoring 'falses', which means you may also miss a 'real'. Edited by - DragonBreath on 09/26/2006 07:47:04 AM

I've been using the Force ever since I sold my Passport 8500 X50 a year ago. The Force is strong with me.
