What is the best Radar
 

Any good radar detectors?? Please list name and brands. What do I look for in a radar?

Valentine 1.....very good but very expensive
Escort 8500...also very good, slightly cheaper at $300...

I own a V1. :D I bought it used from a member of another online forum for $325 shipped. It's very sensitive. However, I've yet to run into any radar traps at all.....;) To me it's the BEST.:cool: But some others like the Escort 8500.:rolleyes:

What about radar jammers? Circuit city sells them now.

What is the difference with those$250 ones and the $40 ones? they all do K KA X and lazer right?

I have a bel 980 and i like it....i bought it a while back and i think it's been replaced by the new vector 985. The passport 8500 is also pretty good...i heard the V1's aren't that great. A lot of people swear by them but they are kind of weak on Ka band detection...they are good on K and Laser but most the cops around here use superwide KA band these days.
