Passport 90500iX
Don't trust me... Call a store that sells BOTH the Passport AND Valentine One, see what they say By the way, no false alarms with the 9500iX... |

The 9500ix is top-notch.

V1 hasn't done me wrong yet, however some will tell you that it is "old" tech. Thing is its been so good for so long there is no reason to vastly overhaul it, the passport is good too.

I back the V1. Love the fact that I know the direction and how many signals are hitting. It saved me from a ticket just last week coming back from Florida. Just passed a cop who had someone pulled over and the V1 said there was another signal just ahead and it was another cop. Usually, I would speed up once I pass the first one.
I don't think you can go wrong either way - Passport or V1. |

The 9500 is great and so is the Beltronics RX65. It has almost as good range as the 9500 (2+ miles, I feel any further becomes pointless or even harmful) but for quite a bit less money. It only lacks the GPS feature... which while nice, isn't really necessary.
I can confirm the range on the RX... Also, check out Radar Roy reviews. He'll tell you everything you want to know.
