AngelOfDeath Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I am debating on to upgrade my Valentine One or not?? It's 101.00 with shipping. It will have PoP on it if I do it. I know PoP is used in Florida but not sure if I should wait now or later and get a radar detector built in to the milly with laser jammers. Any ideas/info??

///BHRpowered Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 what the fuck do you men upgrade the firmware? its a damn radar detector, it would work just as good now as it would have on 1970's firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeath Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 V1's have firmware in them which allows older customers to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 and what do they claim is the reason for upgrading? there is no need unless police invent another band of radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelOfDeath Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 cause PoP didn't really come out til recently for detection mainly for speed traps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelOfDeath Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 yep ...read on POP Mode How the POP Mode Works The POP Mode is a feature of certain radars made by MPH Industries. Its only purpose is to defeat radar detectors. It works by transmitting radar in a short burst — only 67 milliseconds (that’s 0.067 seconds). What you should know about POP Mode It is inaccurate. In order to outfox detectors, MPH Industries has pushed the technology outside the accepted principles of engineering. And the company admits as much when its Operation and Service Manual advises users as follows: “A note of caution: Information derived during the POP burst is non-evidential…Citations should not be issued based solely on information derived from the POP burst.” Nonetheless, POP Mode is a reality and it will be used at the discretion of individual enforcers. Valentine One has full-time POP Protection There is nothing you must do to activate POP coverage. It’s built in, and it operates full time. It covers POP on two bands — specifically the MPH Industries models Bee III and Enforcer on both K and Ka. What the “Dee-Dah-Doo” Tone means Valentine One is designed to recognize — and ignore — phony POP signals transmitted by poorly-designed detectors. Occasionally a false alarm will be started before verification is certain. If it then determines the source is a junk detector, it will notify you it is retracting that alert with a “Dee-Dah-Doo” sound. A flashing J ( ) indicating “junk” will flash briefly in the Bogey Counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdubs99 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 http://www.radarbusters.com/ Read the reviews, laser jammers don't work. Escort tends to make better detectors for most situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdubs99 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 A showdown where most radar detector manufacturers show up to test their product against the competition is proof positive for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I would agree, but then again I don't drive the distances, or the speeds I use to. if I could find a passive radar jammer that worked I would go that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
