    Welcome to the board event horizon. If you are happy w/ your Cobra, then that's cool. Just remember, Cobra's have a lot of leakage that cause some on here to be upset because it sets off their detector. I think we all would love to figure out a way to shield the leakage off of those Cobras. Maybe in time, this will happen.

    whooa cobras scare me driven down the highway then all of a sudden a 5 ka signal whips by as I slam on the brakes.

    Ive tested a cobra, they work but for the price you might as well save a few and get a way better pro 58 or something like that.



    (FATHER ASKS WHY I USE AN RD? WHY DON"T I JUST SLOW DOWN? I reply i need it to spot my fellow cop friends so i can wave at them as they drive by with thier constant on beacons (yes i know it's radar) that i can detect from a mile away.)

    Thank you for welcoming. Most of you guys are awesome but in my forums experience there is always at least one person you will make enemies with.

    I realize that cobras are not up to par with performance. The other day I finally came across a "your speed" sign at a construction zone and it alerted to it at about 1/2 mile out. Don't know if that is enough for the highway but may be good for more tighter city spots.

    As for leakage, its weird. Looks like Cobras don't pick up leak from other cobras. I was at a stop light and a guy pulls up right next to me with the same exact cobra model and mine did not pick it up. The only thing is I wasn't sure if his was on or not.
