Re: Radar O'Reilly
If you google the subject, you might find some forums devoted to radar detector tests. Last time I looked, which was about 2 years ago, V1 was still the top rated detector but it was very closely followed by the top products from Passport and Bel. Lots of owners love the coolness of the arrows. Honestly, the extra 20+ feet of warning did not justify the $400 price of the V1 versus the <$200 for the Bel. This will rapidly become a religious discussion, but I can tell you I an happy with my Bel 965 and it has saved my butt numerous times as I often drive 10-15 over. On straight road stretches here in MI, I often get 1/2 mile warning of imminent radar. If you heed these, which are often false alarms, you will discover that they are radar scatter from instant-on guns in the distance or from radar on cross roads. As stated above, laser does not scatter and is instant on, so when your detector screams you are already caught.
