And minimal visual cues that you have an ESM/ECM suite onboard.
Puts you in a whole different ballpark financially, but you DID say "the best."
Otherwise, K40, Passport/Escort, or Valentine portables; any of the three will do well on radar. And add a good laser jammer.

Yes the K40 is the BEST, lol. And you are right, that is what everyone should have said, but few people want to spend a couple grand on a radar/laser detector jammer system! So I think that V1 and the top Passports are equal, each tests slightly better in one area or another but overall they are about equal. I still think that the mid level Beltronics detectors such as the Vector 955 (excluding the wireless one) are a better buy. From what I read the V1 and Passport can give just slightly better notice of a radar, but barely longer than a human reaction at 85 MPH. Basically the same, I don't knock the one who choose to spend so much more for the passport or v1 but I don't see the value for me.
Now any one buying any price level of Rocky Mountain Radars needs to do some research, the most expensive detectors (K40 excluded) and the only thing they do very well is market. Definitely not good at detecting radar!
