I ran them side by side for about seven hundred miles then pulled the Passport as it was getting its *** handed to it by the V1. The V1 still falses a helluva lot more than the passport but it was also more sensitive in and some cases by large margins. The directional arrows alone are worth any price disparity even if the detection abilities were closer.

The passport is the not the X50 but it is less than a year old and the V1 is about 6 months old. The X50 may have closed the gap a bit but without the directional arrows its a distant second place.

I got lasered three times with only the V1 which one time picked up the car in front of me which saved me, the second time I saw the cruiser before I was even in range and had time to slow down before being "probed", 3rd time a Z28 pursuit car in Oregon shot me from behind after I had been following him for a few miles thinking I would gun it as soon as he pulled into the median, anyway picked up Ka and K equipped cars with ease, both instant and constant.

This was my quasi annual tour de West Coast, 3800 miles in 6 days, Next year I should be in an S. I'll need the V1 even more, should probably get a scanner.

 

Good analysis...as I own the Passport. But I've heard the VI is more sensitive and is worth the extra $100.

 

the arrows.

 

i just ordered my v1 friday! Can't wait to test as the cops sit in different spots everyday on the way to work!

 

Get the new BEL and you can throw both the passport and V1 away.

 

No Way nothing touches the V1! Never has and never will!

 

BEL?

 

Bel Radar Detectors

I have never used a Bel detector, but I believe the company is owned by Escort. They likely share technology.

 

V1. You'll learn to love the arrows almost as much as you love driving fast.

 

Just got my V1 in the mail today....I love toys!!!1
