Yes, sad to see him go. I had Escorts and a Passport back when he still owned the company. Went the Valentine route when my Passport died. He'll be missed!

Had a few passports back in my youth when all I did was use the street as a race track. Majority of the time it saved my butt.

saw that … sad news

RIP engineer! I have V2 and it is excellent, crazy range. Waze + V2 great combo for trips or spirited driving

Saved many their drivers licence with his knowledge by filtering out the spurious signals in R/D's earlier, have two R/D's for our cars.

I have owned many radar detectors from Cincinnati Microwave and Valentine One.

As previously mentioned, the V1G2 and Waze is the best combination out there.

RIP Mr. Valentine

Sad news indeed. Have been a V1 user pushing 30 years. Mike Valentine really did innovate in an industry that was very gray market in it's infancy. His contributions in Cincinnati microwave transformed the detector market.

I remember upgrading from my Fuzzbuster 2000 to the Passport RD was like moving from a Blackberry to an iPhone. Then when I moved to the Valentine One I never went back.

RIP Mike

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
