Do they work well at catching police radar and only police radar far enough in advance for you to react? Have any of you lot with the detectors gotten a ticket?
What do you think of your radar detector?
Thanks for the feedback!

I have a Belltronics and it can detect both signals from POPO , Fire Dept and emergency vehicles with at least 30 seconds to respond to our driving mode. I have had Whistlers, Radio Shack and Cobra's all with a few years life span, this Bell I bought in 2010 and love it. I'm contemplating doing the hardwire to the rear view mirror with the wire harness from a vendor I can't recall but also like the fact that I can velcro the unit to the dash and have it blends in with the gauges (trying to post a pic but having technical difficulties) and you want it to be a warning device not a device that distracts you from driving.
