Best budget radar detectors?

And there is NO such thing as a legal radar jammer...active is ILLEGAL EVERYWHERE and passive is just bullshit to get you to spend your money...laser jamming IS legal in most states. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

 
They are all trash. By time any of them detect a signal the cop already has your speed.
if you use the $50 at kmart it wont work

spend a bit and they work great

my 8500 x50 can spot cops a good half mile on a straight road,so about 30 seconds of the radar flashing lights and reading Ka 34.743 should be plenty for most

the longest range was a bit over a mile, I thought my radar was acting up. There was a cop at a gas station, I guess he left his radar on.

If a cop is doing laser you have little to no chance.

If they do instant your chances are slim again

 
Why did you write that twice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
To double the emphasis.

Actually, there is something wrong with the forum I think. A lot of people have double posted. It won't let me double post usually.

 
Amazon.com: Cobra ESD7400 Performance Radar/Laser Detector with Ultra Bright Data Display, Safety Alert and VG2/Spectre Surveillance Undetectable: Automotive

I was given one of these. I had it for about 6 months, it saved me a few times AND THAT MAKES IT WORTH IT.

Sure the x band is set off by motion sensors on doors at stores and such, but if you put it on city mode it will beep once and quiet down. It may have occasional false K/KA band alerts but I would rather that than have a ticket.

The more expensive detectors are just as vulnerable to instant-on radar.

I liked it enough I bought 1 for my wife and hard wired it in her car, she hates it beeping at her but I would rather her be annoyed than for my car insurance to go up.

If you spend $40 and it saves you then its worth it. You could spend 5 times that and not be guaranteed that you wont get a ticket.
