Status Report on Your Valentine One

Serial Number 5964280501

V1 Description: Radar circuitry known in-house as V1.7 gives high performance on all radar bands. Also,it remembers your “mode” setting when shut off. Has stack of four LEDs on front panel for band identification. Front and rear laser.
Upgrade Recommendation: While this version is not quite up to today’s V1 standard for Ka, it’s almost always good enough, and always better than detectors from other makers. X and K performance is excellent. Upgrading merely to improve radar performance is not cost effective, in my opinion, unless you’re concerned about the POP Mode operating in your area. Upgrading does bring other benefits, including our latest laser warning (front and rear), which outperforms the competitors by a wide margin, and POP Protection. Also, you'll get the new Euro Mode.

Still for sale?

 

So you still need to send this out to valentine and pay $75 firmware update?

 

Alex only if you want their latest and greatest software. 1.7 works just fine no need for 1.8

 

1.8 falses all the time anyway...i wouldn't bother

 

Typical - i just spent $470 buying one brand new (incl. hidden unit thing and overnight shipping) and this crops up!

Oh well. Good luck with the sale.

Josh.

 

if you call valentine up they will sell you a refurbished one with new software for $300... for 470 u kinda got hozed

 

I thought refurbs were $350+s/h, not including the hidden unit.

And back on topic, I had a 1.7 and it worked extraordinarily well. Possibly better than my 1.8.

 

you could be right...i bought mine about a year ago. I could be a little off?? regarless if you dont have one, BUY ONE. its worth it's weight in gold

 

Yep, still available. Please email scwalter@gmail.com if interested. I can take some pics if anyone wants...
