Used to be a radar detector would pick up signals from a radar gun in standy-by mode. If they aimed it down the road in your general direction, the detector would go crazy.
Most of the cops in our area now use instant on, seems like you only get a signal if it's aimed at you. That's not a lot of warning. Are the new radar detectors reliable enough to avoid getting caught ? Attached image(s) |

[font=Times New Roman][size=7]My V1 is probably ten years old. To update the software Valentine wants about the same as the price for a new one. I like the idea of a group buy for one of the new GPS units.
