So it detected 8 out of 9 cops you ran across? And there's no way to tell if the last actually had his radar on? If 1/10 of a mile

So it detected 8 out of 9 cops you ran across? And there's no way to tell if the last actually had his radar on? If 1/10 of a mile isn't enough time to slow down, how fast are you going? And using Cobra to illustrate your point doesn't really prove anything. They're crap.
Since you're convinced that the plural of anecdote is data, I'll counter your scientific testing with my own. Today alone, my Escort pointed out three cops with plenty of room to slow down. Not to mention you've complained about "biased reviews" every time a counterpoint to your position has been submitted, but your link above is the manufacturer of POP radar. Are we pretending they're not biased to sell a product too? Even that link shows that a radar detectors work for traditional signals. POP is not impossible to defeat unless you're the only one on the road. A good detector will pick up the splash from others being radared.

Did not speed during the test of the cobra unit. I would have bought the escort 9500 ix and play with it, if it wasn't for the guy returning one already , that said it didn't detect much better than the cobra unit I tested.
So I decided I'll try the escort max when it comes out and see if its any better. Even with the claims of the one radar review that is supposed to be an ex radar cop and instructor on the escort 9500 ix , it still failed to detect the Lidar or laser and even if a cop waits till you are insight and uses the instant on function. It boils down to once he sees you and sets the detector off , he will of already nailed you. So even if the detector works 50% of the time , the odds are stacked against you no matter what you do or how much you spend. |

You took the words out my mouth. Plus, let me reiterate the Cobra Radar is a Pieceoshyt... If that's his test point???? lol. This whole discussion was meaningless.
