My wife recently got a speeding ticket, and now has requested a radar detector for christmas. What do you recommend? I've seen so many adds, I don't know what brands and features are good. I was also thinking of getting one for myself, so I'm not looking to get something too pricey (read: I'm cheap, poor).

 

Valentine 1



this is the only radr i would recommend it is awesome.

it has saved my friends and i many times.





oooooooooh valentine 1

 

does the manufacturer have a website?

 

http://www.valentine1.com/

 

damn, that's expensive...I'll see if I can find one on ebay or something...any other suggestions?

 

yeah it is expensive but i really want it badly. my friends has gone off and mine wouldnt and then zoom there goes the cop. i had a cobra, my other friend has he bell and my friend james has the valentine and it always works.

 

If I'm gonna pay 400 bucks, it better give me a *******...have you heard of any other that don't suck?



that was almost a pun...i think

 

my beltronics 936 for 120 was good enough.... you can always get the higher end ones for a little bit more.. but its worth it. If i had the extra money, i would get the one with upgradeable software, wher eyou can update your radar when police start using digital spread spectrum radars.



my brother in law got a escort 8500 for 300bucks.. very good radar. but pretty expensive.i have also heard about valentine1's are very good detectors but pretty pricey.



i would check this place out http://www.radartest.com/

good luck choosing the radar.
