I did it! Ordered a V1!

[jmccam]

I broke down and ordered a V1 to run with my STi-R.

I got tired of waiting to see if the Cheetah Mirror was going to materialize, so I spent the money on the V1.

Together, they should be a killer combination.

Wife gets the IX and I will either sell the X50 (great back-up RD) or keep it just to play with.

I am a dedicated Belscort fan and probably always will be, but I wanted to say that I at least gave the V1 it's fair shot.

This combination tied to my Blinder M47 should give me a very solid set of countermeasures that will give me a fighting chance!

Congrats on the soon-to-be new addition to your arsenal!!!

I would have gotten a V1, but driving in Canada requires the stealth characteristics of my STi Driver, and the soon-to-arrive STi-R (after I finish paying off the Blinder M47).

Congratulations, you will be very happy with the V1,STI-r combo. You will soon be a zombie as I have become.Welcome to the brotherhood.

A Zombie...who would have thought.

Sent my STi-R back to BEL to be repaired so once I get it back and start running with the V1, and Blinder M47 which I just tested with CAT4 at MOAC, I should be good to go for awhile...at least until the rear set-up.

Need to know the best setting for the V1! Don't hold back!

Congrats on the V1 purchase. It is a handy rd especially w/ the arrows. One thing to watch for using the V1 is detecting off axis 35.5 ka band. The V1 has a hard time in this one circumstance so be careful.

I will be on the lookout for the 35.5 concerns. I do not see that particular frequency around here, but it is good to know.

The most deadly frequency on ka band is 35.5. And when you throw off axis 35.5 ka band in there, it changes the playing field. I brought up this issue face to face w/ Mike Valentine a couple of months back outside VR's hqtrs in Blue Ash (suburb of Cincinnati OH). It is interesting how small their place is. It looks like a bunch of office cubicles.
