Car and Driver performed the test. V1 took top honors.

I'd actually like to ...
"test" my detector like that. But I don't know anyone with a radar gun, and I don't have the nerve to ask a cop to radar me just for fun. That would be nice to get an instant-on, laser and standard gun and go out to a testing ground to learn your detector better. Like I said, anyone have this equipment or know a cop that would indulge us??

so... you should get a V1 until you "learn" this skill?
i don't want to get any tickets until "eventually" comes about.
and what about when i'm travelling? i'm not gonna have that "skill" worked out for a city i've never been in.
-------------
i guess what you're saying is that you don't feel the need all the features of the V1.
i'm saying that i DO want them. and until another detector comes out having them, no other detector is worth comparing.
i don't care if one detector detects at 11,325 feel and one only 8,435 feet. i only care if i get some indication as to where the radar is.<p>Sean Hester

the driver school at SIR has a radar gun...
they use it for the comp schools, to see how people are doing in different parts of the course.
i'm sure they'd let me use it for a test.
but i can tell you how the results of ONE test (the only one i care about) would go. here goes:
-----------------
here's the test:
you sit in your car with the detector on. i go out of your view and turn on the radar. then i ask you "where am i?"
here's the results:
V1: you're at "XXXXX"
any other detector: i have no idea, but eventually i'll develop a 6th sense that will allow me to tell your position.<p>Sean Hester

actually... i've never USED the k-40, only seen it (uninstalled) at a store
so, i have a question.
is it any differnt then any other detector in the way it conveys information? doesn't it just have a signal strength meter, and a radar type meter? with different sounds for different types?
or is there more? (counters, direction indicators, etc?)<p>Sean Hester
