Radar detector mount options?

I did read your post.
In my world, higher is better for maximizing the range of detection. I mean, half of mile is a half of mile,

Mine definitely picks up way more than half a mile from the source specially on ka band. But I think it's still being over thought. Anyway, not much more I can add to the discussion.

I was referring to gaining a half mile in detection distance when mounted high.
My best was picking up a Florida state trooper over 5 miles away on the alligator alley. The R3 is still a beast.

Five miles is great. All I care about is not getting a ticket. And mine has done its job perfectly for 4 years. And to me, that's the only metric that matters.

I used a Blendmount for my V1G2 and mounted it high & tight without any extra links..also tapped the power into the mirror so no blockage at all..I Blendmount and use a power jumper on every vehicle I buy.

Also, download the JBV1 app for free..SUPER app!! Really well designed and extremely useful!!

I have a Valentine V1 Gen2 as well.

Suction cup it to the windshield just higher than the wiper arms. Done. Mine hasn't fallen yet.
