Re: Beltronics STI Driver or Valentine V1
I doubt you'll have much luck here since they are like um, you know illegal here. I would suggest Ebay or getting one new, especially for a V1. Used V1's typically go for $300-350 where as new they cost $400. Not to mention you get a warranty as well.
If your going to get a used V1, look for one with firmware version 3.812-.819, as those models are the least visible to the spectre radar detector detector......~400' vs ~1100 for the later models. State police do have some spectres btw.
Sti is a good detector and is invisble to the spectre but lags in performance on some radar bands when compared to the V1.
Hope this helps
