Michael Valentine, who turned a childhood interest in amateur radio into what we all know as the radar detector, and saved a lot of drivers a lot of tickets in doing so, has died unexpectedly at the age of 74.
Sorry to hear that Mike has passed. I've been using his detectors for years and the continuous upgrades to improve them have kept me loyal to the brand.
Highway hero, even after the bastards came out with K and Ka frequency bands. Nows there's Lidar. When I was young, I needed it; now I'm old and the speed limits are 75.
