Hi Hans, thanks for the good thoughts. Well, then if Valentine 1 is the best there is, I guess something is better than nothing. I do wonder though, will the Valentine 1 spot them first? I wonder if anyone knows? Hmmmmmmm
Thanks, Kurt


Hi Kurt,
Thanks for input. The detectors that are mounted inside BMW cars are of a different make. They have a sensor mounted in front behind the grill and another on the rear bumper. On the dash they will have a red and a yellow light and a beeper. You will not know what band or the direction of the threat. As to on-off radar, hopefully someone ahead will trigger it and you will know it is there. Otherwise only votive candle, Saints etc. are of use.

This brings me to your ticket. My thoughts and best wishes are with you. I might even burn a candle. Since your incident paranoia grips me around Sacramento. It really is a damn shame that enforcing "Safety" has become a racket.
Fortunately I go to Europe occasionally, alas without the 840, still driving there takes the wrinkles out of my soul.
Keep us posted so that we can direct our moral support in your direction.
One last admonition, should you go beyond Sacramento, Auburn and beyond,our civil servants in uniform will be sitting by the road, lights off, engine on with on-off radar in the ready.
Lots of luck to you.
Regards,
H
