Default just bought a valentine one

bought a valentine one version 1.7 off of a kid i know for $180 bucks- its in great condition. the only thing is its a 1.7 and i typed in the serial # online and said it would cost 229 plus shipping to update it. Are the 1.7 models still good? was $180 a good price?

Does it cover Laser detection as well? If not, you just got robbed. Cops around here rarley use Radar anymore, they use laser. And there are very few Laser detectors that will make a difference, because unlike Radar guns, a laser gun can only be detected when the laser is pointed DIRECTLY at the object, meaning that by the time it goes off makin noise, you got blue and red lights twirlin behind you!

+1 on just about everything you said. But I do notice around here where I live that radar is used frequently still, so I guess I'm still good to go. But whenever it upgrades I could find out since I work at the Sheriffs Office. [8D][8D]

It's still going to be arguably the best detector on the market even without the latest update. Why is this in street/strip though?

because radar detectors help prevent tickets- street racing usually attracts cops![sm=wootwoot.gif]

A cop doesn't have to get you on radar to see that you're street racing [8D]
