Each of these top performing radar detectors provide stellar RADAR sensitivity and rejection of false
radar alerts. Although each provide very good sensitivity to police laser,
the Valentine V1 radar detector is the most adept by a wide margin.
Both Beltronics and Escort models are very good laser detectors as
well (an edge goes to the Escort 8500 X50) and each Bel and Escort model can detect POP RADAR (67ms variety) - a lethal form of police radar that occurs in bursts
of 16-67ms, too short a duration for those radar detectors that are not
specifically built to detect it.
The latest Valentine 1's offer superior POP RADAR detection capability and are
are unique in being able to occasionally (~10%) sniff out the MPH K-35 hand-held K gun when its POP mode
operated at a blistering 16ms!
Valentine 1's also distinguish themselves as the only ones in the top group to be able to spot
Laser Atlanta's stealth mode police laser.
VR's newest revision of their radar detector includes "Euro" mode that can be enabled to perform especially well with Gatso/Multanova police RADAR - popular throughout
europe, this low-powered RADAR waveform is most difficult for a conventional detector `
to pick-up.
Any of these top detectors would make a fine addition to your windshield.

review performed to date.
