    you can set them to filter the false signals but I dont. It rarely goes off except at the same spots such as EVERY freaking rite aid drug store.

    I surely didnt want to spent that much money but my last detector was I believed to be an excellant one and failed to work one night after a bar in a speed trap area. Spent about 12 valantine 1s to get out of that mess.

    I've always wanted a V1, but after doing some research I decided to save $$... for 2 brake jobs, B&B exhaust, flex disc, new headlights & fog lights... etc... I dont really need the arrows as I am very aware and observant that I see everything.

    When I get my new detector we'll see if it picks up the CTHP which I swear is using POP since my current one doesnt pickem up, the Whistler Pro 73 seemed very good on all tests, for $175-300 more I didnt think the Passport, V1, & others were worth it, but we'll see..

    I just got a brand new Whistler 1788r of Ebay for $100. Its the cordless one.
    I bought it because it seems to get really good ratings and it was cheap. I haven't got to really test it out yet though.
