That means my ride to work is slient even though there is a radar sign and a k band door opener along the way. 2. When it detects a valid signal, it displays not only the band (k, ka, lasar, etc.) but also your speed at the exact instant you were measured. It uses GPS for this. The speed it calculates is at least as accurate as the police device. It keeps the speed on the display for a few seconds. Nice to know when you argue with the cop. I had the device hard wired through the mirror and use a mount I found on Amazon that mounts it just below the mirror. Very neat and professional.

i think ive set my price limit $399. Still really cant decide
