Re: Need some info on radar detectors
I have always used Escort! I can honestly say I would have had so many tickets without it it is mind numbing to think how many times it has paid for itself. Btw Bell and Escort are the same co.now! and next to Escort I would pick a Bell or a V1. I think they are all real close and the tests do show such. I prefer the one that has the very best long range Ka because in Illinois that is the one that will get ya the most when they run instint on. I notice that my bird dog will sniff some stray radiation off oncoming traffic or in the air and give me a single brap...this is when I slow down(to legal)...because abt every tenth time or so this happens they are out there..down the pike a bit...My unit can sniff em out over a mile away..sometimes this is a pain(to be so sensitive) but it is indeed just what u want as much advance warning as possible... every now and then I get a laser sig.(usually fools me like a cell phone..cause its rare) but by far k and ka first then some x(not to many around now cept for rinky dinky towns) and last laser(but on the increase 4 sure)...the escort does see laser from the rear and is so sensitive the rest(cept laser) you get 360 degree coverage, advant. to v1 for the direction indication but I usually dont have time to study in thick traffic (the display) so the audio is everything(don't forget when u have ur tunes cranked)...that is when i keep an eye on the indicator flashin!!! Been an escort client since 1975 and have had abt 6 units thru the years as they advance!!! B4 escort i had the orig "fuzzbuster" what a big honker unit and only x band as comp. to 2days units!!! lol remember u get what u pay for like most things in life...just like our ZR-1's vs the reg vette... LT-1 vs LT-5!!!
