Radar Detectors?

Don't have one. Or need one. I drive sensibly.
 
I'm with Goldwing, at least for now. I will probably sing a different tune when/if I get pulled over for speeding. Obiviously, most people are purchasing the Valentine2 or the Passports. Those are supposed to be the best.
 
None here

I don't have one either. I had one as a "young" adult and still got alot of tickets. I just drive more sensibly now, although I have benn known to break out the zoom-zoom from time to time.

Valentine One...it is THE SH*T! :D

Mmm.. really wanting the Bel RX65, but more importantly the Bel LaserPro 905 jammer... the wife is actually entertaining the idea, too! It could happen!

the ESCORT PASSPORT 8500 is a reasonable radar detector..i'm thinking of purchasing it..unless i want to go buck wild and get the V1...
 
I have the Passport7500.

Had V1 originally. While convoying w/buddy w/8500, the 8500 got less falsies, and picked up true signals slightly farther out than the V1. Slightly.

So I switched. FYI I do a DC->IN drive (600mi) through some HEAVY cop activity in OH and WV a few times a year. I dont know how, but the 7500 really cuts down on the negatives.

I'm just in love with my V1 - got it for Christmas last year, so it's got the most updated guts...it is a bit pricey, but jeez it's brilliant! Just my .02.
 
Plus, you cannot beat the 360/arrows/all-direction coverage...great, now I sound like an ad...and NO, I'm not making any money for the plug! lol (bang)
 
seing that you are in DC the detectors must be invisible to radar/laser detecter detectors...where are you mounting it? I seen som custom jobs where they were in ashtrays or change drawrs

Radar and rear window tints ???

Thought I'd throw this out on the radar thread...has anyone noticed a diminished range/pickup capability of their detector due to adding tint to the rear window?

i got a passport 8500 red. Love it, picks them up pretty early. No false negatives on Ka or k band. X band is another story, i pick up a lot of businesses and gas stations in the city, but once you know your city you can expect it and ignore it. I am still getting used to the POP, not sure how it works.
I love my radar, i heard very good things from the Valentine but its way pricier than the passport, and its not that much better. I got my passport for 200 new of ebay
 
The thing i love the most about mine is the battery operation! no cables to get caught and look messy infront of the NAV. =p
 
I have the Escort Solo S2. Cordless. Other than battery life it is a great unit. I hadn't used a detector in years and while I drive sensible or at a nice clip in traffic, it is aways nice to have an extra "head-up".
