V1 & M20 XTREME LASER JAMMER FTMFW. Its pretty much the ultimate protection for all radar bands & the jammer for laser protection. both of them together is like $800 total

I have the Excort 8500 x50 and I love it, the Valentine 1 has a lot of supporters here tho, I've never trid it so I can't say much about it. The Escort is perfect to me, I haven't had any problems and it has paid for itself.

^ Radar Jammers are illegal Better hide that when you get pulled over because the radar gets scrambled when he hits you lol

and the way the laser jammer works is that when the cop hits u with a laser, it shows up as "---" on his gun & and u hear a loud beep inside of the car, u would then proceed to slow down to the speed limit and flip the switch to turn off the jammer, so that when he clocks u again it'll show the real speed ur going (which should be the speed limit at the time). plus, the sensors, switch, etc. is all really stealth and it's hard to distinguish.

....just my 2 cents

try it a different way - find a V1 owner who would buy something else.

true on the laser jammer...it's slick, & most aren't noticeable

Thanks for the replies, and keep them coming!

How are the higher-line detectors with picking up signals around curves, hills, etc.?

Yeah, I've always wondered about laser jammers and what would happen if a cop shot you with a laser gun and saw "---". Though, I don't think there are all too many laser guns in use, atleast with respect to radar guns.

HCSO & TPD's newer patrol cars use Laser I believe, I think FHP still uses regular radar...

regardless, I would protect myself from both ends of the spectrum

Yeah, the FHP I was ticketed by listed a radar gun as the weapon of choice. Though, the Escort's and Valentine's have laser detectors too, correct? What's the benefit of a laser gun over a radar gun?

^ Both have laser, but usually by the time you get hit with laser, it's too late.

Believe it or not I've never been hit with laser since I got my V1. 99% of the time they will shoot KA. Both Pasco/Hills. and also State Troopers.
