Hi 69VETTE,
Thanks much for your kind words! In regards to the Valentine 1 Radar Detector, the answer is yes, it recieves both Radar and Laser. It has seperate antenna's for both, in front and in back. So you get protection from both Radar and Laser from your front, and also from your back. Go to their website, it has a wealth of information. Use the buttons at the top of the home page to navigate around. The following link will give you a copy of the Operating Manual in PDF format, for the detector.

For what its worth I have a Passport X50 8500 which is as I understand the competitor to the V1.
As good as the X50 is, after driving a friends car in the USA with a V1 I found the directional arrows of the V1 to be really helpful. While some may say they are a gimmick it does help knowing what direction to look in for the radar or laser.
If I bought another I'd probably go with the V1.

A few years ago, I bought a Passport 8500, I thought it did a good job. Then I bought the Passport Solo, and I thought it did a good job, and I liked the idea of "no cord." But it ate up battery's like crazy. Then I bought a Valentine 1, because they were running a 30 day free trial. I attached all three to my windshield, had a triple recepticle in the cigar lighter opening, and plugged them all in at the same time. I drove around like that all afternoon, comparing one against the other, and the Valentine 1 was so superior in comparison to the other two detectors that I never went back. The big difference was in the range that the Val.1 could pick up the radar, it would pick up the Police Radar significantly sooner than the others, and I could not be without the arrows now.
Instead of just saying Beep beep, it gives a tone, shows how strong the signal is, and what direction the Radar unit is from your position. It will also point out if there are 2 or 3 units ahead of you, and advise you when you pass them. Pretty hard to beat, IMO...;42
