    Radar detectors

    So I went to abc warehouse last night looking for a cheap radar detector. Since I finally got my Bird I don't wanna take many chances. I had heard they started making a gps/radar and was looking for info.

    Anywhoo I ended up spending $300 (alot more then I wanted) and picked up a cobra XRS R9G Which apparently is the cats ass when it comes to radar detectors. I it was last years model but had more features then the new model. They also had it listed at $500

    Wondering what you guys use?

    I have Valentine V1. It's been rated #1 by Car and Driver more than once. That's good enough for me.

    The escort 9500 and the v1 are supposed to be top notch. For now I just make sure i'm not the fastest one on the road.

    Hi Sarge

    I had written this down because I think you recommended it at one time. Do you still? It's very inexpensive at around $65

    XTR 330 Good detector. Pro 68 better detector. Pro 78 is the balls. But the XTR 330 is a damn good lil detector. Smoke a $200 Cobra all day everyday.

    Thanks. I'll exchange the 78 for the 330 on my wish list

    just picked up the pro-78 for xmas from my gf........so far so good...love it.....the size if it is larger than id like and it " FEELS" cheap but so far the range and lack of false alarms is fantastic......im gonnna have to run it side by side with my buddys escort 8500 on the next rd trip......oh the best part she got it on amazon.com for about 130 bucks.....thanks for the hot tip on the whistlers sarge !!!!! after reading your post i did my own research all over the web including yours and found the pro-78 to be the best value out there...nearly the range of the 9500 at 1/3 the cost
