[TonyMCev]

i am in the market for one since i am now on the road all the time for work. i have heard some of you guys talk about the Valentine brand. are they that good? what other brands are proven in your opinion?

and if the valentine is that good, anyone have one for sale ?

any help will be greatly appreciated...

Valentines are the best from my experience. The arrows are also very helpful. It'll pay for itself in no time if you have a heavy foot.

I can't begin to tell you guys how many people I pop with instant on radar.

All you have to do is sit and wait until you see someone you can tell is hauling a$$ and pull the trigger. By the time the detector goes off, it's too late.


Now if you encounter a guy who is just sitting under a shade tree with the always on radar, you can get some decent warning since he's just broadcasting a large signal for you to intercept.
