    Default Why we NEED Cobras:

    I wasn't sure if this is a pro-Cobra conference, or anti-Cobra conference, but I had a thought. You can decide if it's pro or con...

    It seems to me that as long as LEOs believe RDs don't work, they will have less incentive to use/develop the nastiest of deployment tricks.

    That makes LEO easier for those with truly good detectors to avoid radar.

    So, Cobra is good for the rest of us. Makes sacrificial lambs for the slaughter.

    Rabbits and lambs go hand in hand. That's what I say.

    Cobra? Keep 'em coming. ;-D

    I agree. Besides, the performance of nearly every other brand of RD looks great compared to the performance of a Cobra.

    I wouldn't mind Cobras so much if they didn't leak so much carp all over the Ka band.

    If not for Crapras Ka falses would be nearly non-existent.

    I don't get falses from Cobras, but I am sure they desensitize my detector.

    The more cops that use non selective I/O or C/O the better...

    I never had a Ka false but 1 K false (Since Nov.) before so Cobras are the greatest thing happen to me in RD World and they're everywhere. I just love them so much as much as V1 Users.

    i don't understand the mentality of the cobra desiners. They produce dectors that do everything but detect radar. they must be aware of their reputation of poor dection.

    cobra is a business, IE in it for money, and something i learned working in retail, it's all about how it looks, you make something look good, people will buy it

    i could have made a feature(those things you see on the ends of aisles in stores or in those 4way type things) of a 'fake turd to fool your grandma'

    and if i made it look good enough, they'd disapeer

    The newer cobras don't leak like what we all thought. It's just members here think that all cobras leak so bad.
