Radar Detector?
 

What is the best radar detector to have??

Found this neat website for Radar Detector Reviews as well: http://www.RadarReviews.Net/forums/

Choosing a radar detector for you depends on many factors:
1. Do you want a more sensitive detector that will give you earlier warning, but more false alerts, or a less sensitive detector that will give you less false alerts.
2. Do you want a radar detector that can supress false alerts by the use of GPS filtering. Just note this same GPS filtering can supress true police radar signal detection.
3. Is the location of the threat (forward, behind, side) information important to you.
4. What kind of enviroment do you drive in: hilly, flat, curvy roads, straight roads, urban, suburban, rural, highway, side streets, secondary roads? Different radar detectors do better in some of these enviroments and others do better in others.
5. What kind of tactics does the police use in areas you drive in. ie. in Texas (I have a friend that lives there) the Valentine 1 and the Beltronics STiR+ (programmed correctly) are the only radar detectors that will detect radar the way it is used there.
6. Do you want a windshield mount radar detector or an installed remote radar detector.
7. If you live or drive in Virginia where radar detectors are illegal, and the police use radar detector detectors, you need a "Stealth" radar detector that the radar detector detectors can not detect.

Yeah, I am kind of a radar detector enthusiast too.
