The only problem is if I keep the V1 I can still get picked off by one of the radar detector detectors.
In the Lidatek site it says that the unit fires for 5 seconds and then cycles for 60 seconds. Is it doing this constantly? Are you not vulnerable for the 55 seconds that the unit is not firing?

Wow, your apologies sound strangely like insults... 
While I'm reflecting on our weirdness, our collection of society's rejects, and our social morass, maybe I'll consider how glad I am not to be living in Michigan or Florida... Naaahhhh, I'm too polite to badmouth some else's state.

Socialistically inclined!!!! WTF?
I am born and raised in California and old enough to remember our late, great state under the governance of Pat Brown and a Democrat majority legislature. Best roads in the country, best education, best jobs, and so on.
I also have had a home in Key West for many years. (Sold one in Captiva about three years ago when that area completed its Hilton Headization.) To even compare the two states is ridiculous. Florida's reefs are dead, it's a "Right to Work" state filled with goons in Harley T-shirts with sunburned necks. The Cubans are so nutso the rest of the state is frightened of them. The Florida motto is "Grease My Palm" in Latin.
I am neither Rep nor Dem, but I can tell you point blank and without hesitation that Calif began its slide down to the likes of Louisiana and Mississippi and yes, Florida (where I once worked in the newsroom of the Miami Herald) with the election of conservative Ronald Reagan.
Californians have been utterly sold out by the "conservative right" who preach that any tax is a bad tax. After 25 years of Propositions 13 and 9, our cities are bankrupt and the state is a welfare case. Who has gotten rich? The Country Club bunch, along with the greedy WWII generation who have been holding their hands out for freebies ever since they "Won the Big One" almost 60 years ago.
Thanks to pinheads like the above correspondent, who buy the Republican "Big Lie" that taxes equal socialism, we have an angry, mean-spirited electorate that won't even pass school bond issues for our kids.
Socialistically inclined indeed. I suggest you try some independent reading before you next parrot some Fox News "pundit." Read a real newspaper (not the garbage you are fed from Tampa or Miami), or a book that isn't necessarily on Rush's reading list. Good grief what stupidity.

that is great to here that it worked I have considered getting one due to the fact that I have spent over $1400.00 getting out of tickets in the last 2 years. Deferred adjudication and defensive driving fees. My insurance has not gone up due to the creativeness of probation.

I have a passport SRX and it comes standard with the type of jammer that's an option for the 8500. The SRX has sensors / jammers both front and rear. I've only experienced the laser jammer working once and it scared the b-jesus out of me.
About a year ago I was coming down hwy9, a twisty mountain hwy, into a flat valley area during light traffic, I must of been going about 75mph in a 50mph zone. That sucker went off and intsictualy I hit the brakes. At that instant I had no idea what was going on but I knew the sound was coming from the detector display right in front of me, thus I stomped on the brakes. I look at the display a split second after it goes off and I see it displaying "LASER SHIFTING". I'm like WTF? They don't use laser in CA... Do they? I start looking around for the CHP and just barely visible under an overpass about 1/8th of a mile ahead is this motorcycle cop with a laser gun pointed right at me. A second later, as I'm getting closer to him, I see him pull the gun away from his aiming posture and look at the gun while turning it around inspecting it. He then looks up at me briefly and then back at the gun. By that time I was just adjacent to him and we both looked each other in the eye. Luckily for me he didn't try to come after me.
I can certainly understand the skepticism that exists about the effectiveness of the passport laser jammer, I'll simply say I'm no longer skeptical. Take that for what its worth, just one persons personal experience.

Ya i been thinkin about getting a laser jammer too ... though kinda pricey for something that doesnt happen often.
Right now i use a Passport 8500 and it works great...one day i was driving down 635 goin 80 in a 65 in the left lane when my radar goes off "LASER" and makin a pulsing sound i hit the brakes and slow down and as i pass by i see pulled over in the right shoulder a dallas county sherriff leanin out of his car looking back shooting laser.
Well i dont have a valentine but i can say passport works great
