Overall I've been satisfied but you can't go wrong with a V1. The added functionality of a V1 is that it gives directional signals when you pick up a radar signal. Meaning that you could be picking up signals in multiple directions and it would pick them up....

Only downside of V1 radars is that they're one of the most expensive consumer radar detector on the market. They also don't depreciate in price so even if you get a used one, they typically don't lose much value.
what do you guys think of the rmr-c430 or phazer II? i have heard a few radio commercials around here saying that they are the best thing since sliced bread, but I have never actually used these detectors/jammers... has anyone had any experience with them?

Thanks for the info...I was looking to get one when Evo will be out on the street. Closer to the end of this month. Got pretty busy after the show + remodeling my office right now.

How was the show BTW?

Damn arrogant WestSiders...
Eastside for life!

Good to know, though. I've always been happy with your work. Never know when I'll need something done.

We have informal dinner meetings almost every week. It'll be great if you can join us.
Hey Karl! I officially turned the car into a garage queen that gets run about once every two weeks or so. Still have the original stock advans on for now, and that sh*t gets sideways in a hurry
I'm currently taking masters classes over at the Ashland/LCCC branch, so I'm keeping hella' busy. I would like to meet up if you guys get together sometime.

Sidenote : Just got the Norwalk schedule so mark yours. June 24th (Mitsu's vs. Subbies) August 19th (DSM shootout)

Good luck with classes, Mike. Join us next time when you're not so busy.
