Western Australian drivers: take advantage of the current exchange rate and get your brand new (with the latest version of software) Valentine One delivered right to your door cheaper than any Australian radar detector seller PLUS available with an optional 3 year warranty! The Valentine One has been rated as the number one windscreen mounted radar detector for many years by independant testers and hobbyists. Our tests confirm this. The Valentine is the undisputed champion when it comes to laser detection of any radar detector, as well as turning in some of the highest performance figures on all radar bands.

Speed Measurement Labs performance review below can be summarized in this quote from Carl For's:
"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”.

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
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.

Radar Over the Hill detection is superb. They may be hiding on the other side, the the Valentine One will detect their radar signals before you get to the top of the hill. Average radar detectors can not do this, so why take a chance on missing the hidden radar traps?
Delonix Radar attended Speed Measurement Labs in June 2006 to verify best performance in the products we offer, and to compare our performance against other products claiming to be the best. The above image shows testing for RDD detection at Speed Labs in El Paso, Texas.
Front and Rear Valentine1 - Best radar detector at locating photo speed traps, giving you enough time to slow down. 
Specifications:
Operating Bands (All bands can be programmed on or off)
Laser 820 - 950 nanometers Power Requirements
Compact Size
Three logic modes for false alert reductionAs you drive down the highway, you need to be able to isolate false noise alerts. The logic modes allow you to set the level of noise filtering you need. Metal titanium case / made to military specificationsNot only does the case look outstanding, but it also helps to reduce detection by radar detector detectors, RDD, which is used by police trying to find who is driving with a radar detector.
Front and rear facing detection antennasValentine1 is the only radar detector detecting to the front at 16kilometres, and detecting to the rear at almost five kilometres, no other radar detector has this front/rear capability.
X, K, Ka Superwide, Laser, Dual Band K/Ka POP3If you need traditional radar frequencies, the Valentine One can do it.
Totally invisible to the police VG-2 & VG4 RDDThe V1 is totally invisible to police VG2 and VG4 radar detector detectors. The Valentine One is also very resistant (but not invisible) to Spectre II , Spectre III and Stalcar (used in Australia) RDD.

Its multanova detection is second to none. I used the Escort X50 with a vertical bracket for quiet some time and it provided very good detection of Multanova Speed Cameras. However, the V1 is another step up and it has outperformed the X50 on the very same set ups here in Perth - and quiet dramatically in some situations! The X50 is a very good detector and a certain option if you cannot afford the V1 - but simply put, the V1 is better at detecting radar.
Some say that the V1 is too sensitive and noisy around town but when set up right - there is no quieter detector. The V1 has a mute option for K-Band which allows you to set a lower volume level for K-Band alerts until they reach a certain signal strength or pre-set timeout. This, coupled with the single button K-Band on/off toggle means that the V1 is quieter around town than any Bel, Escort or Whistler product that I have used. (also, turning K-Band on/off on other products is a whole procedure which cannot be done when getting on/off a freeway offramp. On the V1, when you're getting into the CBD, you switch K-Band off with the press of one button!)
The arrows are great as they allow the V1 to utilise both the front and rear antennae to notify you of where the radar signal is coming from! When you pass a camera late at night, you know exactly where it is and when you have passed it. This works even better for mobile radar units or in situations where there are multiple signals being detected.
Laser detection is second to none. So far, the V1 has detected every laser encounter where as the other detectors were lucky to alert to 1/5 encounters.
