where to purchase highend radar detector at discount?

The "newest" thing in radar detection is band segmenting. On some of the higher end detectors you can actually specify what KA frequencies you want to to scan and drop the rest off the scan list. So if you know what radar the LEOs in your area run you can turn the other bands off and get way less false hits plus much faster reactivity because you detector has to cycle through fewer frequencies.

RDF Geographical Survey - Radar Detector & Laser Jammer Forum

Has a pretty good list.

When you buy products today buyers really need to be savvy to problems and scams with a product.

AS SEEN ON TV = you won't buy it if you had it in your hands, prior to laying out the cash.

"Only $9.99 if you buy it right now" = $29.95 in shipping and $5.00 handling fee

" May Have Rare Side Effects In A Small Percentage Of People Taking the Drug" = Take this crap and you will have a 99% chance of dying or screwing up your body for life.

"Excellent Reviews" = Only believe the Bad Ones

Then there is the famous quote that trumps them all - "There's a sucker born every minute"

What does any of this have to even do with Radar Detectors??

1. I've never seen one advertised on TV.

2. If you're buying a radar detector for $9.99, or even $29.99, then you should expect to get what you pay for...

3. Drugs... really??

4. You can't weed out the "excellent" reviews because they don't agree with you. That's why you have to read ALL of them objectively and decide for yourself. That is the exact same process you do for anything else, buying a house, buying a car, or a TV, or a computer.

Now you're not even arguing about Radar Detectors at all, you're simply going after stupid buyers.


Scrolling down, you say you're getting a 9500ix for a road test, I hope it changes some of your disbelief's and that you will give it a fair and objective review yourself. Be safe out there.

Probably won't the short range detection of KA , instant on and lasers, I really don't feel it will help, much.

Trip is leisure so it will be a good mix of interstate , highway and local and being done on peak travel times. If the detector proves me wrong I will eat my own words , but I really doubt it.

Your already incredibly biased against it, so I don't expect it to irregardless of it's performance.


Yes there are ways out there that make radar detectors kinda nullified, and we accept that. Which is why all I'm saying is YOU as the driver can't just rely on the detector and do 95 in a 45 and think you'll be saved...

I have the detector as a back up in case my eyes don't see the cop first. If he get's me, he get's me. But I'm sure my detector will alert me that he is there either way.

For Short range Ka, you need to be cognizant of what your local or area cops are using, if they are using that, learn where they hide, predict their presence around long corners or blind spots and slow down on entry...

Instant on will still light up my detector because it's sensors are mounted where they actually point the guns, the front/rear tags. Not at the windshield which depending on distance, the beam width may not be wide enough to trigger a detector at the mirror. So that's an inherent problem with the LOCATION of the detector, not a fault IN the detector.

And with Lasers, if it's not illegal in your area, that's why they make Jammers/Shifters. As soon as you get an alert you're being lased and jamming, slow the **** down and cut them off after a cycle or two. Hopefully the cop won't pull you over for the jamming, but that's on you at that point.

Control box hit what antenna you want to use front or rear and you can also lock the speed of the vehicle, also in the first pic you can see a patrol speed and a target speed patrol is how fast the cop is going and target is your speed or the other vehicle,

So how far away can you start clocking a target car and what type of radar is it ?

Wonka2581

As soon as you can see the car the radar will pick it up, it's a Decatur brand radar

Heading up to Cali for a 500 mile road trip this weekend so I'll pick up the escort 9500ix and review it.

It will be interesting to see how it performs.
