Price Paid:
$40.00
from Pawn Shop Year / Model Reviewed:
1999? Summary:
Adequate radar detector with a few added features like SWS.
Performance good for a middleweight, adequate for use in the city, or as a second detector when a running mate can be found that doesn''t interfere with the Cobra and vice versa.
Haven''t observed this unit''s performance against "Gatso", photo radar, Ka-band units, or laser. In-town threats are mostly K-band.
Purchased secondhand with power cord but without mounts or owner''s manual. Strengths:
Flexible display (dark, mute)
Clear LED band indicators and S-meter
Simplicity of design and operation
Simple windshield mounting can be fitted to other manufacturers'' windshield mounts in a pinch Weaknesses:
Rapid test cycle makes it difficult to learn to distinguish various audio alerts
Warning LED''s or a light could be larger.
Audio level adequate for quiet sedans, less so for sports, SUV, or older vehicles Similar Products Used:
Valentine 1
Uniden RD-9, RD-9XL, LRD2200SE
Whistler 1270, Q-1000
Escort, Passport 2500
Maxon RD-25
Autotronics Snooper (passive)
