I have the x50 red... doesn't compare too well with the V1 but it does throw less non-police warnings so its nice. Though i'm having problems with mines and i sent it into escort, they fixed it and returned it in 3 weeks for some reason. But everyonce in a while i'm getting all 3 bands at full when i'm just driving through residential areas...

that could be cause of car alarm systems, or other frequencies in the area
do you find it works well? has it saved your **** from a ticket?

And yes its saved me from a couple tickets, but it also got me a ticket cause i had the hardwired system installed and no radar since it was at escort being fixed. I got pulled over for illegal tints, and he gave me a 250$ ticket for it. I managed to pull strings to get it waived, but the officer (sargent) called me up on my cell somehow and explained to me that radar detectors, though being legal, are discouraged. Cops think of it as another way to cheat them, which is true. I just need to rewire my hardwire and i need to find a new place to mount my radar, maybe take it apart and integrate it somehow? Who knows..
