Its for me to know as well ;) like i said, i believe in the greater good. if 600 bucks is what it takes to understand the radars in dubai, then so be it! its good to know for the long run than wondering all your life isnt it?

Im thinking of getting a detector. Anyone know the Frequencies or Bands that Dubai Radars use?

i.e. is it X, K, or Ka or a combination of all?

I know the Valentine1 is the best, any other personal recommendations?

my friend has the escort 9500 ix. but he says it doesn't work as well as he would like on the new radars as it does on the oldies. Dunno if thats the case with the valentine. plus the yellow-sided radars set them off too which is annoying. by the time it beeps, the radar is right next to him -_-

Do you know anyone else using the valentine? does it work well?

I do know someone that uses the V1 and they swear by it!

When I'm back, I'll speak with him again on what he thinks..... especially with all the new radars on the roads. :smile:

haha ask no questions, hear no lies :wink:

but seriously? no! screw rta and their fines. yea i said it! lol i just experimented on radars an awful lot. it was a good investment (fines) when you think of the end result. u know everything about radars. more then the guy on the next lane. and you can't buy that feeling.
