I'm thinking of ordering a Valentine 1 when I'm down in the states later in the summer. Only problem is that here in Ontario they aren't very legal.

Does anybody else use one where usage is discouraged? Any experiences?

Any installation tips so it'll be as inconspicuous as possible?

Thanks.

V1 does sell a remote that might help keep it hidden.

You can't hide it. In addition to your speed the men in blue get a signal that you have a detector. Some detectors claim they are designed to minimize the ability to be detected. I don't think you can get away with it.

The V1 bleeds a different frequency than the famed VG2 is designed to pick up so unless the fuzz see it, they'll never know you have one. It can be done.

I just copied this from Valentines website.

"Recently, we've been hearing of another radar-detector detector,
the Spectre RDD. Used first in Canada, enforcers of detector
bans in Virginia and Washington, DC, and the nationwide ban in
heavy trucks, surely have this tool on their must-have list. It claims
to have been designed specifically "to detect the latest state of
the art stealth-type radar warning receivers." Does it find V1?
Very likely, according to reports we've been hearing from a few
V1 users. One participant in an internet chat room, who claimed to
be a Canadian enforcer, said "I've snagged a Valentine 1
already." We've been unable to acquire a Spectre RDD for
testing. Until we can do so, be advised that no super-heterodyne
receiver is perfectly undetectable, and that includes V1.

Can't help you with the radar detector. I never exceed the posted speed limits. :D But, I do like your name.

wasn't sure if anyone would catch the connection . . . .
