    Money for money, which radar detector would you guys say is the best? Best bang for the buck?

    Wow, this has been asked on this forum at least 100 times. Whatever detector suits you is what's best for you. There is no one detector for the masses.

    Maybe go read Roy's writeup? I think you are his intended audience.

    Yeah, the key here is that detectors ARE NOT the same thing at different quality levels for different prices. They do different things and work different ways.

    A Whistler Pro 78 Rev C can be found for around $130 after shipping and is a adequate performer on all bands (K,Ka,X).

    That is the best bang for your "Limited" buck.

    If you are woried about laser, don't speed much and be cautious, or for better chances, get a jammer.

    Oh, alright, I'll throw my two cents in here.

    Escort 8500 x50 red, they have them new on ebay for $254.99, that's not a bad price for an excellent detector. Hopefully they didn't "fall" off a truck.......

    they're not bashing on you, it's just that this question has been asked hundreds of times, that is why there is a search button on this forum..

    and the features you are looking for all depends on where you live..
