KJT13 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 i've been thinking about getting a radar detector recently and i've been wondering what you guys have, like, recommend?? i haven't bought one in over ten years since i never really felt the need to, and normally i have a good eye, but lately, the foot has been alittle heavy and the lane changes more frequent. i apologize in advance if there is already a thread on this, i forgot to check since it just popped in my head, but since i already typed all this here goes.

04CHASE Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) ive got a valentine 1 , it kick ass!!! i havent been pulled over with it in over a year.(for speeding at least) it tells you where the signla is coming (front,rear or side) and what type of radar it is and how strong the signal is. money well spent, i have mine hardwired but i have the cig lighter adaptor when i go on trips in other cars.

misterp Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Bel vector 980 - it's a good detector but V1 is the best. Buy either a Bel Vector, top of the line Passport, or V1; anything else is a waste of money. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP5GUY Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have the pasport cordless it runs on 2 AA's and I like it alot! the last two passports my friend and I had started just beeping for no reason all the time. So we had to send them back and for 45.00 they replaced them. Not bad service! I guess I always figure "How much is my DL worth to me?" when buying one. But it always comes down to don't write a check you tail can't cash while driving." " You do the crime just pay the damn fine!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSR Mike Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I do a lot of Interstate driving. I run a basic Cobra Unit fro a Radar Detector but the CB Radio is the best tool bar none. The radar detector doesn't tell you about the pile-up 10 miles down the road. I highly reccommend BOTH be used to really be effective. There have been way too many times the cops have been sitting there without any alert whatsoever from the detector, but I knew where they were already miles back because of the CB Radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSAlaska Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 X50 for me it works great. V1's are good too, heard good and bad about them. But as prior stated X50, V1, or top of the line bel are all about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
