Since the weather looks to be playing nice this weekend, I'll make sure to get out there and snap some.

I've picked up a cop 6+ miles away... plenty of time to slow down.

Its all a matter of distance, visibility, angles, and placement. You'll get a Radar hit much further and easier than you'll get a laser hit.

Beltronix is actually owned by Escort and is their "lower price point" tier. However many of the same features are incorporated into both brands. The only main difference is in Escort models, they use Blue lettering, and in Beltronix, they use Red lettering.
