REVIEWS - see all our radar detector reviews here

 

Car and Driver
"I'll keep using my Passport 8500 and Valentine One, both are excellent devices."

 

Roundel
"Whether you choose Escort or Valentine, they offer genuine protection."

 

Speed Measurement Labs performance review below can be summarized

in this Carl For's quote:

 

  "The V-1 gives excellent performance on all radar bands

and its directional arrows tell you where the radar is.

Rear reception range of all radar bands is exceptional.

Laser receiver is top notch”.

PRODUCT TESTS

FIELD EVALUATION REPORT
BY SPEED MEASUREMENT LABORATORIES, INC.

 

Products Evaluated: Valentine One Radar Detector.

Evaluation Methodology: Radar and laser guns operated by certified police officers. Testing conducted February-April 2000 in El Paso, TX, by Speed Measurement Laboratories, Inc. (SML).

 

All radar and laser equipment operated within the guidelines of the International Association of Chiefs of Police per standard police practices.

Detectors provided by manufacturer.

 

Radar guns used: Stalker ATR 34.7 GHz, Kustom Signals Talon 35.5 GHz, Kustom Signals Falcon 24.150 GHz, Stalker Basic 2 4.150 GHz, MPH Industries 10.525. Laser guns used: LT1 Ultra Lyte 200, 904 nanometers, Kustom Signals Pro Laser III, 904 nanometers, Stalker LZ-1, 904 nanometers. Normal police targeting with radar is 1/4 mile. Normal laser targeting with laser is 1000 feet.

 

Note: At short laser targeting ranges, the laser beam is extremely narrow and in many cases all detectors will give no warning. Each detector was given two runs in each evaluation category. SML not compensated for field testing Valentine Research products. SML requested "top of the line" models for testing. Evaluations conducted under ideal atmospheric, RF propagation conditions. Your results may vary.

 

In the results below, "instant on" testing was conducted with the test vehicle containing the radar detector at 2,000 feet. "Instant on" is the manner in which the officer triggers the radar gun on for approximately 1-2 seconds then turns it off with no signal being emitted. "Yes" indicates the radar detector detected this "instant on" signal.

 

All detectors have a series of LEDs or text informing the driver of the signal strength of the incoming radar gun signal. The higher the number displayed by the detector, the stronger the reported incoming radar gun signal.

 

In the "signal strength" report , the number reported is this signal strength. If "Full" is indicated in the report, the individual detector immediately reported a maximum signal strength report with accompanying full audio alert per the instruction manual of the individual detector with no signal strength "ramp up" of the alert reporting LEDs or audio.

 

Field Testing Results
Model Maximum Range in miles Instant On at 2000 ft/alert strength Laser Alert at 2000 ft VG-2 X K Ka X K Ka (904 nanometers) (11.55 GHz) V-1 3.0 3.3 4.0 yes/F yes/F yes/F yes/full alert undetected

 

The Valentine One uniquely includes front and rear facing antennas. It is the only dash mounted detector with such a feature. It is the only detector with a metal case greatly reducing false alert potentials.

 

The V-1 gives scorching performance on all radar bands and its directional arrows tell you where the radar is. Rear reception range of all radar bands is exceptional. Laser receiver is top notch.

 

The Valentine One gave advanced warning to police radar guns six to eight times the normal targeting distance of the radar guns, depending on the radar band.
