    Cobra wins, at least it did a few years ago. I would like to see how the newer RMR models stack up.

    Realistically you're just using different smelling turds though.

    Arrow Re: RMR vs Cobra: Who wins?

    Well in the sense of RMR being so much better. Here is a stomache turning film on the "RMR C450." A supposed 259.00 dollar unit from RMR. Watch the outro to the Invational Film from 2008'. The last Alpine up north invite. Watch the C450 Not even warn untill on the radar transmitter. For this much I can say atleast Cobra warns at 3 tenths of a mile away.

    RadarRoy posted a video a while back of them testing the jammer on a speed sign. He did comment that the detection range wasn't too bad. So, under perfect conditions you might get enough warning. Might.

    Those RMRs are the leakiest things on the planet. If you ever want to sterilize someone, put them in a car with an RMR. I got to drive behind one for 30 minutes last Saturday on my way back from my sister's college graduation. I turned the V1 off because even 1/4 mile back I was still picking him up half ramp on the V1. I pulled off the highway to get gas, get something to drink, and to gain some distance between myself and him. I forgot my Bushnell at my house and was very very disappointed.

    I'm going to have to say Cobra, even though they are both crap. Neither wins at anything except getting you a ticket, and they tie at that.

    The 15 band Cobra would probably beat the crap out of RMR since it's range on C/O is comparable to Whistler's Rev C platform.

    Its kind of like asking the question, "If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is there to hear it, is there still noise."

    I mean really, who gives a fuggg?

    Well lets see. The rmr radar seems to work except on that new band of radar, you know ka wideband it's only been out there for for say 25 years or so. May be a problem there. On the other hand cobra detectors seem to alert real well, to a deer in a field, radar detectors around me, or an leo 10 miles away from me amazing!!
    But im still not sure if its that deer or that leo its picking up. Sooo i would have to say the winner is a leo in your area. Damn now im confused??

    RMR C475 seems to do fairly respectably as far as detection range, some guy has numerous videos of it up on youtube and it seems to be giving more than ample warning of speed traps. He compares it against an Escort though, so how it compares to a Cobra I can't say.

    If the scrambler in it works anything like that old Spirit II I got so many years ago it will mess around with CB radios nicely too.

    I hear that almost every Police Municipality recommends both units.

    I also hear that you can use the RMR in VA. Hell why not, it sure isn't going to alert (detect) any radar in the area.

    How can it be illegal???
