Radar Shop Team –
V1 ist wohl das älteste heute noch verfügbare jedoch technisch grundsolides Radarwarngerät. Und es wird liebevoll von Valentine Research aus USA gepflegt. Jedoch ist sowohl das aus heutiger Sicht dürftige Bedienkonzept ohne Display oder Stimme und nur mittels Anleitung – geschweige einem deutschem Menü – möglich. Fehlendes GPS oder Update Möglichkeit (Updates nur über Valentine USA möglich) sind weitere Kritikpunkte. Einzig bei Laser schlägt das Gerät sehr gut Alarm (soweit bei Lasermessungen überhaupt möglich – siehe unser Technikguide). Jedoch trübt den guten Eindruck wegen häufiger Fehlalarme auch bei Sonnenstrahlung oder anderer Umstände, sodaß auch Laser nahezu unbrauchbar häufiger anschlägt.
