where to purchase highend radar detector at discount?

Don't get me wrong , back in the 80's and early 90's I had experience with the x band and KA and laser detectors. When you only had to worry about X band you stood a chance of slowing down after the warning. Even the old fuzzbuster brand worked great and even the $50-$60 cobra units.

But as soon as the KA and pulsed band units came out , every time you got a warning it was to late in such a short distance, then came lasers and forget about having time to slow down.

So in the mid 90's the police units became to good to beat and you just had to slow down or get the tickets.

Sure you will get those that argue that you can get a reflected signal bounced off another car at great distance. But how often does this really happen and it may only work in ideal conditions.

The facts are that with most of these detectors, they usually go off all the time from background microwave radiation and other lasers, so after a short time of all these signals you find yourself braking all the time or just turning the unit off.

If you really want try one of the units I would get a cheap $100-$150 units a play around with it and see how they really perform (with a return policy) and just get a good Garmin GPS unit with life time updates and redlight and speed camera ability.

My 9500ci has GPS with lifetime updates and redlight/speed camera updates too... And I know how Radar/Laser work. Plus I get the added benefit of other drivers updating the hive database so even if I don't drive in an area, if someone else with one does and updates the database, I get those locations too.

Also, downloading Trapster on your iPhone or Garmin works great for heads up alerts for camera and speed traps on unfamiliar roads...constantly updated and it's free.

Yeah, you are just dead wrong. In a lot of places tons of patrol LEOs still use constant on K or KA which gets picked up by even shitty cobras miles away. As far as IO goes, as long as you have cars in front of you getting hit you are going to get reflective bounces if you have a good detector. Naturally curvy or hilly areas are going to cut down on your detection range but that's a known fact.

Now if you get hit with Lidar then yeah you cooked, but the fact is Lidar is still way more rare than radar and the LEOs using it have to be setup and sitting still. But lidar can be defeated easier than radar with the use of jammers. So that's a moot point.

You're wasting your time. He's made up his mind that they don't work, and no amount of facts, real world experiences or math can change it. Any time his position gets compromised he moves the goalposts.
