I Started Doing My Own Test Of The Famous Valentine And Bell Driver Radar Detectors.test Were Done Over Two Days On The Gardenstate Parkway And New Jersey Turnpike. First Test Was Picking Up Radar Signals. Valentine Won Hands Down With A 4-5 Second Difference. The Valentine Also Picked Up More Junk And It Was Set To The Big L Position. The Valentine Shows Where The Radar Is Located. Big Big Help. This Was An Interesting Sting On The Gsp At The Pnc Exit. I Picked Up A Signal From Both Detectors So I Slowed Down And Sure Enough There They Were. The Valentine Also Showed Me A Second Bogey Straight Ahead And Sure Enough There It Was A Quarter Of A Mile Up The Road. If It Wasnt For The Valentine Multiple Bogey System I Would Have Been A Victim. The Bell Is Also Very Hard To Read, Its Always Jumpimg Up And Down With A Very Poor Mounting System. The Bells Bracket Is Set All To Way To The Rear Which Gives The Detector No Support. This Makes The Buttons Very Hard To Hit With Such A Moving Target. The Valentine Has One Large Knob Thats Very Easy To Use And A Great Mounting System. The One Down Side I Had With One Of My Valentines Is That It Broke After Less Then A 4 Year Use. I Never Dropped Or Removed It From The Car. How Did It Happen? I Called Valentine And They Told Me That They Sometimes Go Out Of Calibration And That Theres No Heat Issue. They Could Repair It For 45 Or Upgrade To Pop For 85 Plus 10 Shipping. I P.o.p.ed For 95 Bucks. So There You Have It Buy The Valentine. If You Want Your Detector Tested Just Drop Me A Line.
