those that are using the V1 how does it do on highways with slight curves? Im using the 8500x50 now, but i notice the protection isnt all that great on curves. Basically if the cop is not in front or behind, it does not pick up very well till about 1 second before I see it
Thinking of going to the V1 but not too sure about the false alarms? Does it false on Ka band? or just the regular X and K. Because I have yet to have the 8500 false on a Ka band

To be honest, I think the V1 is overrated. I don't think it's as great as everyone thinks, yet everyone continues to hop on the bandwagon.

Does anyone have or have experience with the Solo S2 ? I really like the fact that it is cordless so I can switch it between cars easily/no wires/etc., but I don't want to sacrifice quality.
