    Welcome to the forum. Do you own a radar detector?

    Not on my new vehicle, i had an older radio shack brand one from the late 90s, which worked fairly well.. but now i'm looking to upgrade a bit, hopefully one that retains memory settings after the cig. lighter loses power when the car is off.

    Well, originally i was looking at about $50..

    But i am considering the whistler 695.. more like $133 i guess..

    My old detector did construction alerts.. K, KA and laser, front and rear only..

    I wanted something where x band could be turned off, b/c i'm reading that its really not used much, except by stores..

    Wanted something with POP ability as well... (i think)

    Forget a $50 RD; you'll end up gettig a garbage Cobra RD. Bump your budget up $20 and get the refurb Escort 8500. Also, forget about POP. That is rarely used. Where are you located?

    See for yourself:

    Look at the Escort 8500 - Orig non X50 entries.
