aside from not speeding.. what is the best radar detector on the market? i figure with my handheld cb and a good detector i can dodge almost any ticket

 

you can't dodge the police, they have laser, unmarked units that pace you, speed enforcement air craft etc.

but there are lots of places that have done actual tests on the best radar detectors. go look one up.

basically the passport x50 is good, the valentine one is need and so on.

 

Valentine one

 

as in a cb cops usually are on a whole separate network that would require your cb to be programmed into there frequency which in turn is illegal.

my father company installs cb's in all the local cops and owns many tower sites, im not 100% sure on what the cop's run on but your standard cb will not work to "pick up cops"

 

How about a radar jammer?

Jammers are a joke, they dont work. The top 3 detectors are the Bel STI, Valentine1, and the Escort 9500i. All 3 are $400+

Bel RX65 is in the top list too... bel sti and 9500i are the latest though

 

jammers too are illegal in all states

 

the sti and 9500 are the same thing.

jammers are illegal and cops know when you are using them and pull you over anyway...

 

beltronics STI and Escort 9500i are same thing? or you mean they are made by same company?

go with V one and a good laser diffuser. it is legal.

 

dodge a ticket? or dodge a cop? cuz i usually look out for police cars, not pieces of paper flying....i mean, they can give you a piece of paper otherwise known as a ticket.




late night sarcasm...sorry

 

yes. same company and same technology.

 

id go with the 8500x50 from escort its about 300, people tell me the 9500i gps is kinda waste of money and the range is about the same but anything is better than nothing i say

 

Valentine 1 is the best, bar none.

2nd is the Passport

3rd is the Bel Sti/995/xxx

Lidar (laser) is not as big a problem as some make it out to be. The main thing is that Lidar units are expensive enough to keep them from being in widespread use. Secondly, laser jammers ARE illegal. However, it is usually only a $100 fine (depending on the state), and does not count as a moving violation. And a $100 fine sure beats a $100-$300 fine that goes on your record. Note that RADAR JAMMERS go into a completely different category and can get you arrested. There's more about it, but I recommend checking out radardetector.net for more info. A good laser jammer will also have a kill switch so you can enable them to read you once you slow down.

 

Escort SR7! check it out!

 

sure you can pick up cops on cb's even with out modification they just don't sell them anymore you have to get some of the older units from a few years back that can pick up anything.. if you look around im sure there are sites that list these units

i know my dad has a few units that still pick up there band

How bout cheaper ones like the Bell 955 or RX55? Are those worth it?
