Only fools buy them anymore, detectors stopped being of any benefit 23 yrs. ago when pulsed radar and laser, instant on were used by the police.

This is completely wrong. My radar detector proves this wrong at least once a week. You are aware it can pick up when someone else is being radared, right?

I'm not going to try and convince him that it works, because I'm not putting proof of situations in writing on the internet. The laser jammer works as fast as their laser shoots and the high end radar detectors are picking things up over a mile away...even if the LEO is using POP.

I will say that you have to know how to use a radar detector in order for it to be effective. You can't just put it in your windshield and do 90 everywhere. It involves knowing what the detector is telling you, using rabbits, etc.

Nonetheless, this thread does amuse me.

Exactly. It's a tool, not adaptive camoflage. Situational awareness is still required.

That was a seriously convoluted rant of misinformation. While there were SOME truths about instant on laser in that rant. Ka is totally defeatable. ALWAYS. As i do it multiple times daily with a smile on my face.

In my experience buying items usually the small segment of reviews of 1 or 2 stars of a product are a good indicator of quality and what you can expect thru everyday use of the product.

If there are 100 reviews and only 10 are bad, most likely the ppl that gave good reviews only rated the item after first getting it or minimal use.

Examples , GYM equipment that is never used, sure its great quality, because its never used, then a guy that uses it 2hrs a day and it breaks in 30 days and they leave a 1-2 star rating.

Same thing with the detectors, they are really toys and most ppl that use them never really speed anyway and they give item good rating because it beeps a lot. Then you get the driver that speeds a lot and thinks the detector will keep him from being detected by police and gets a ticket.
Reality sinks in they don't work = 1-2 stars.

Reality no unbiased reports or testing published that the detectors really work .

Anyone care to submit or find any unbiased testing results ?

I received my recommendation/results from Alex Roy and that was all I needed.
