Signal strength is measured in beep frequency, which is better anyway so you can look for the cop while hearing the strength instead of looking at a signal strength meter. Uniden isn't in the same class.
I've had my V1 for 19-years and I still can't determine which frequency from the beeps and braps
I know the V1 is the best (Stinger?). But cheap plastic models are a bit more interior friendly for me.
