Valentine One Demo - V-1 Eliminates the Shrug Factor

Mike Valentine

When an Ordinary Radar Detector gives two beeps and then goes quiet, most drivers shrug; “It’s probably nothing,” they say.

Wrong! Two beeps is exactly the warning you get when instant-on ambushes somebody ahead. You could be next. Every beep may not be radar, but it’s a threat until you know otherwise.

“Bogey” is the military term for an ‘Unknown.” Every bogey must be identified; friend or foe?

I designed V1 to eliminate the Shrug Factor. Knowing location is the first step. A bogey behind? If it’s weak, not a threat. A bogey ahead? Be alert; you’re approaching an unknown. Any bogey to the side is no threat; radar gets no reading from the side.

“Once you live with the arrows, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without them,” wrote Car and Driver in it’s latest detector test.

owners don't Shrug. They know better:

Paul Doetsch remembers: Instant-on at 12 o’clock

Dennis Walsh reports: Moving radar at 6 o’clock

Some people think the Bogey Counter is overkill. Until they use it. A common false alarm, caused by self-opening store doors, always come in multiples. When the counter shows four or more, all in the same direction, you’ll know what to think.

Sometimes the Bogey Counter gives the only clue:

Joseph DiMotta didn’t shrug: Three openers and three shooters

Together, the Bogey Counter and the Radar Locator give you a detailed Threat Assessment. Are you facing a lone hunter or a war party?

Tim Grothause tells about: Massacre on the Interstate

Occasionally a customer tells me that his V1 is like a personal AWACS. That was the idea.
