    I can't use my high end RDs at the same time because of interference.
    This was a very very basic review that doesn't teach a potential buyer of either product anything at all.
    Read the one and only comment that was posted.
    frankly I haven't seen these Cobra's interfere with any other detector

    but other detectors appear to interfere with it.

    and I have tried it with numerous detectors.
    Probably because Escort radar detectors have Radar Detector Rejection. Just because the Escort doesn't false to the cobra, this doesn't mean it's performance isn't hurt by the Cobra being next to it.
    and vice versa as all detectors have these systems including Cobra.

    It may be that the Cobra was affected much much more even.

    Look at the media source. I'm surprised this magazine still exists. Reviewing how a RD falses is not a review. Bunch of softballs honestly to not piss off the paying advertisers.

    Mandingo thanks for the thread. At the end of the day you just wanted to show us a review you googled up Cheers for that dude. To tell you the truth this is not the kind of review that has any real legitimate meaning to any senior forum member. While it's easy reading for the masses and could and would influence any newbie to radar detectors, it hasn't any real meat/food for thought. For many years DJ, myself and other forum members have read review after review only to find them to be incorrect and somewhat bent..... Whether the reviewer had been paid off or is just not very good at what they do who known’s?
    GOL was a team of guys from this forum who wanted to know the truth.
    So at the time people like CP a self proclaimed industry leader in RD testing did his very best to knock these guys out, remember they were just some dudes who had RD’s in common no hidden agenda just having some fun. But CP had a lot riding on his lies IMO it was because they were showing him and others out to be what he really is.... (And they did a good job at it too)
    So when you politely but somewhat arrogantly blow DJ off just remember you have only been around here for 5 mins and don't know a whole bunch about what’s gone down in the RD world over a number of years. Regards

    "Mandingo thanks for the thread. At the end of the day you just wanted to show us a review you googled up Cheers for that dude"

    well you have this basically right


    "So when you politely but somewhat arrogantly blow DJ off just remember you have only been around here for 5 mins and don't know a whole bunch about what’s gone down in the RD world over a number of years. Regard "

    Not arrogance whatsoever.

    that's a mistaken belief but you aren't aware of this fact

    I know far more about the situation you bring up and have observed both sides of the story and then some and much before that.

    it's a convoluted tale and then some and far to old a one to care much about anymore.

    ever see a s band radar on a tripod?

    I have

    It comes down to this basically.

    I don't believe every detector tests other then gol tests are rigged.

    take off that tin foil hat

    well he did say it was based on the Kelly Johnson "chicken test" remember?

    Kelly was a very direct and very smart person.

    He wasn't one to count the feathers missing on those chickens and graph them for anyone.

    I remember a test he did for the f-104. He took the wing and then the t-tail and strapped them to sounding rockets and photographed them in flight.

    No empirical graphs here just basic sound understanding of engineering

    you should really look into the story of Kelly Johnson

    want a empirical test Speedzones has them
