No experience of one yet, but i've just bought a 2nd hand Beltronics 330 Euro which should be turning up next week...
Reason why i bought it ?? Because it's had great reviews from the people that know about these things, and appears to mostly only be bettered by the 550 model - to be honest never even considered the model you're looking at
Time will tell i guess

I had a Bel 550 for years and it saved my butt a number of times and paid for itself a number of times over.
It packed in so I bought an Origin B2.
IMO a lot better as you pick up Truvelo and SPECS which of course do not emit radar.
And the best thing is I don't get to know where every single automatic door is in the vicinity!!

Sara,
Don't know.
It's 2 Sets. 1 on the dashboard does the Laser & the Gatsos.
The other is by the Radio, it picks up GPS stuff, SPECS, Vans etc, you have to download this a couple of times a week to keep on the radar screen, as it were!.
I think this is the one that "Phoney Tony" and his lot want to ban.
Hope this answers your question.
Kind regards.

Have had my Bel 550 for over 6 years now, good bit of kit, saved me a few times but going off at automatic doors can be a chore. Won`t replace it till it breaks!

The Valentine 1 is an excellent bit of kit, very good at live gatso site and with the laser detection - I used one for a number of years, but with so many non-emitting speed traps such as SPECS and Truvelo around now, it can be caught out.
For GATSO's is almost in a class of its own, but the GPS systems (such as the Micro Roadpilot I now use) have the advantage. If I had the cash, Id still get a V1 to run alongside the MRP for laser detection alone..its good, but like all single systems has its limitations.
