valentine one useless?

Ok, well I've had one for a coupla years at least. My experiences about 6 mo's ago were that the traffic speed sensors set it off but are always registering full strength and don't go off until you pass them........still annoying.........


well I don't daily drive the sti, but I took it to work today with the v1 in it. It seems all the speed sensors build up now and read exactly like a regular K band.
So am I crazy or did they change this? Seems like they collaborated with the CHP, what a ****ing scam.

The only useful band for detecting the CHP is Ka band. All others are worthless and should be turned off.
