The other thread sucked. Here, check out these sites.

http://www.radarroy.com/archives/37 This is about the new 9500i with GPS support. The newest and baddest ---- going down.

http://guysoflidar.com/ These guys do great comparisons and actually test active laser jammers. Just as a note, I was with a friend in his '97 Civic Coupe doing about 75ish MPH through Lynnwood past 164th. He has a V1 and that thing went nuts. Sure enough there was a cop on one of those onramps with a laser. Clocked us at 78 and he got a nice fat ticket. The jerk was smug about it too, "Your detector go off?" he said. Like it's a game to him. Yea, it did. The thing was screaming in my ear!! You CANNOT use a detector against those. Wanna know why? Watch these http://www.radarbusters.com/products...der-videos.asp You cannot, practically, react in time and slow down by the time he has your speed. JAMMERS! The only main way to have peace about it. You can use the VEIL coating on your headlights and license plate for added protection.

http://www.whistlergroup.com/faq-detectors.asp Good FAQ about such things.
http://www.radardetector.net/ Pretty good forum.

Forgot to mention, I have one. $80 special from Target. The range sucks and I know I cannot possibly rely on it for hardcore speeding. I just like it for town and knowing when a cop's waiting at the traffic light. Some of them drive around with 'em on. Although some guys are good at throwing the switch at the last second AKA Instant On. If you're gonna get one make a good one. At least 300+ for real quality. More like 400.

Heard these are the best.

Re: Radar Detectors !
 

They've got wicked long range and are super sensitive. http://guysoflidar.com/radar-detecto...ctor-test.html

just depends what you're looking for. Want something invisible to radar detector detectors get the Bel STi Driver. Want something with great functionality and options, wait for the 9500i. I dunno, just do a bit of reading.

I wanna hear some stories. What have you guys encountered?

Re: Radar Detectors !
 

also heard that and my cuz owned one and it worked really well, im thinking about copping one of these

Re: Radar Detectors !
 

i had one, it sucked, anytime i was near a store that had electronic sliding doors it would go off, never helped me once. just annoyed the ---- out of me

Re: Radar Detectors !
 

ok, my story:

i was ding 85+ going northbound on I-5 near the Skagit valley casino. the road crests a little after the casino. just as i was cresting, it went off. (i knew it was a hot spot for speed traps, but i guess i forgot) anyways, i hit the brakes. he did get me, but only for doing 77. it helped a little, but i still got a $150 ticket

it has saved my ass on more than one occasion, though
