Hello from SW Washington

Hello from Florida. I used to be big road warrior back in the early 2000's. Lost interest in radar detectors when my city started to use more laser guns instead of K or KA radar. I used to have a Beltronic and it worked like magic before the laser guns I do have an old Valentine One that is old and needs to be updated. Im currently looking to get back into the countermeasure game just for fun, and I have been noticing that police are using more radar instead of laser now. After looking at the cost to update my Valentine One, I was wondering if it is really worth it since I use the Waze app when going on long road trips. I also been thinking about buying a new radar detector. My budget is tight. I can buy the best if I want too but my wife would probably not approve of such a purchase... lol

Welcome it's definitely worth it and it's the cheaper option to have a top of the line detector, only 250 to upgrade I believe. The V1 has an amazing app called YaV1 that really makes it shine. Also Florida runs a lot of laser but it's weird you don't see a lot of it. Are you considering getting any jammers? Welcome to the forum from Alaska

Yeah I would love to get a Jammer but thats out of the picture right now. I have looked into the Viel guy stuff but don't know if I want to put that stuff on my brand new car. I figured that my Radar can give me 50% protection plus additional 40% protection from Waze. But I know not all waze users will not report police so 10% could be a laser ambush.

I don't know if your aware of it but Veil Guy has a far more stable version, G5, coming out at the first of the year. So wait for that to come out first before purchasing anything. Waze is good just be careful the FHP run some nasty laser.

Awesome! Yeah I've seen the FHP sit in bushes with Laser guns, airplanes and Vascar system setups.
