HAVEN'T HAD ANY LASER HITS BY A STATE COP YET, BUT I HAVE RADAR ALARMS ALL THE TIME DRIVING. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE THE COP IS, THE K40 WILL DETECT HIM IF HES RADAR GUN IS POWERED UP/ON. THIS DETECTOR STAIGHT UP DOES WHAT ITS SUPPOSE TO DO. NO TICKETS YET WITH MY K40 OF ABOUT 6 MONTHS.

PEOPLE SAY THIS DETECTOR HAS LOW FALSING??? WHEN I AM IN THE CITY, I HAVE TO SOMETIMES UNPLUG THE DETECTOR SO IT WILL SHUT UP, ESPECIALLY IN A COMMERCIAL/GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT WITH THE ELECTRONIC DOOR. BUT THIS IS ALWAYS TO BE EXPECTED. GOES TO SHOW YOU THE DETECTOR IS DOING ITS JOB. OTHER THAN THESE FALSE ALARMS, I LOVE THIS DETECTOR.

I BOUGHT THIS K40 OFF THE INTERNET. YOU CAN GO PAY RETAIL AT A RETAIL STORE IF YOU WANT TO, BUT YOU WILL NEVER FIND ME PAYING RETAIL UNLESS THEY DO NOT SELL IT ONLINE. BEFORE I BOUGHT MY K40 RD850, I OF COURSE DID MY INTERNET RESEARCH ON DETECTORS TO FIND THE BEST DEAL(QUALITY/PRICE) MY LOCAL MOBILE ONE AUDIO STORE(SOUND SHOP) SELLS THESE AND NORMALLY THEY DON'T SELL CRAP. SO I STARTED RESEARCHING THESE K40'S. BEING THAT I FOUND K40 HAS A GOOD NAME IN THE RADAR/LASER DETECTOR MARKET, I WENT AHEAD AND BOUGHT ONE. I LOOKED AND LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR THE BEST DEAL I COULD FIND ON THE INTERNET. HERE'S ONE LITTLE EXPERIENCE TO SHARE: THE FIANCE AND I WENT VISIT MY MOM.SHE LIVES IN A NEW SUBDIVISION THEY JUST BUILT IN THE MIDDLE ON NO WHERE.WELL WE DECIDED TO TAKE A RIDE TO THE LOCAL STORE. I HAD JUST ASKED HEAR IF COPS PATROL THIS STREET WE WERE ON. SHE SAID SHE ONLY SEEN ONCE OR TWICE. NO BULL SH&*, ABOUT A MINUTE LATER, THE K40 GOT A LITTLE WEAK HIT THEN CUT OFF. I TOLD MY MOM THAT WEIRD, MAYBE IT PICKED UP A SIGNAL FROM SOMEWHERE. WELL WE KEPT DRIVING AND IT DID IT AGAIN. WITH THIS SECOND HIT, I AM NOW SCANNING THE AREA AHEAD AND BEHIND FOR A COP. AHEAD WAS 2 COPS STANDING BESIDES ONE'S COP BIKE RADARING PEOPLE AND PULLING THEM OVER. NEEDLESS TO SAY I ADJUSTED MY SPEED AND DROVE STAIGHT PASS THEM. LOL - THEY WERE MAD AT ME - THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK MY WAY. WHICH I GOT A TICKLING KICK OUT OF. I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY K40 AND BELIEVE IN IT SO MUCH, THAT I FOULD MY MOM A USED ONE FOR A TOTAL OF $46.00. ACTUALLY I BOUGHT THE DETECTOR FOR $26.00, $10.00 S/H, AND HAD TO ORDER A WINDSHIELD MOUNTING BRACKET. I FOUND A HIGH-SCHOOL FRIEND THAT WORKED AT A SHOP THAT DEALS WITH K40'S. HE HAD A DOA K40 IN THE BACK SO HE YANKED OUT THE WINDSHIELD BRACKET OUT THE BOX AND SOLD IT TO ME FOR $10.00. $46.00 FOR EVERYTHING - NOT A BAD DEAL IF YOU ASK ME!!!

I WAS USING A UNIDEN BEFORE THIS K40? IS THE UNIDEN A CHEAP DETECTOR? I DON'T KNOW. IT DID GO OFF WHEN A COP WAS NEAR? SO MAYBE MAYBE NOT. MAYBE I SHOULD PUT THEM SIDE BY SIDE AND TEST THEM, HUH? I THINK I WILL!

Comes with everything you need in the box. A one year ticket guarntee for radar or laser. Very little falsing. Good features on detector. dose not stand out to much for theft. Easy to learn the different signal alerts. Seperate alert for instant on!!

Hummm no arrows. Other than that none

Here is your first review on this detector. I have owned it for about 5 months and could not be happier. This detector is quiet and I mean very quiet unless there is a cop around. I was driving one night throuh the little town I live in and the detector kept giving me low X signals for about a mile of course by then I was doing the limit. Then all of a sudden I got the instant on alert and sure enough the cop came up from be hind me and got someone in front of me.I'm glad I did my research on this. The 850 is well worth the price and very quiet. A high quality item that works well and the customer service is outstanding. If I had not of gotten this detector I would have purchased the V1 but I'm glad I got this one so that should tell you something about the quailty of this detector.
