cobra 9785

[snowman87]

i picked up a 9785 for my impreza the other day and i ran across these boards today, now im debating. do i hang on to it or should i return it while i still can and save up to get the passport 8500 x50. i wanted it because i have a habit of doing some 'spirited' driving around my town... not racing or being a complete moron and surely nothing dangerous, just a little fun. i just want some extra warning when i come up on cops, i do a fair amount of highway driving but i do a good amount of driving around town and my town is rather hilly. so is it worth it to get rid of this thing and get something better whenever i have money and go with nothing in the meantime? i also need to pick up a rack system for my car for ski trips. im a college kid so money is tight, what is your vote?

did a little more reading, i passed a few parked and traveling leo's with no joy, i also passed 2 staties running code 3 in the other direction on the highway, again no joy... now i know that its a radar/laser detector NOT a cop detector, would a better detector have picked them up?

thanks for listening

In it's price range, the Pro-73 is just about the best deal you can get. It does work, and for the money, i'd say it works pretty well.

Here's a short video I made of the Pro-73 against constant-on K-Band

wow thats a pretty impressive pick up, based on that it seems like the pro 73 has enough range to make it a very good alternative to the passport or v1. is there a weekness that makes the passport or v1 FAR superior? or is it just a slight difference. i guess im asking what the difference is between it and the passport.

thanks again

ok so the bel 955 vs. the 995 other than $100 dollars is there a huuge difference?

[Tigger]

go to www.beltronics.com and look at the differences between the two. it should be very self explanitory, and from personal experience with the 995, it was worth every penny.
