Radioshack radar detector 22.1697

**zookybeanz** · 01-17-2006, 12:35 PM

Hey guys, I just got a inexpensive radar detector drom radioshack(22.1697). I am surprised to see no reviews on cheaper radar detectors! :!: Can any one throw some light on the specs of this detector? I want to gradually upgrade the detectors as I am relatively new in this field.

Wow,
I think you may have insulted just about everyone in here with that statement/question.

Can you still get your money back if you return it?

I got it for $35. Is it not even worth spending that much money? I could afford only that much at this time.It saved me a ticket already in cleveland, so it has payed for it self, rest all is a bonus! I just want some details from someone who has used it.

Did you say 35 dollars!?
Are you out of your friggin mind?
Just save your money for a few months and buy a real detector.

Spend a few hours reading this forum and you'll learn what you need riding w/ you in your car.

Get rid of that thing before it nukes your brain cells dude!

chill out dude ^^

zookybeanz, I don't know anything about this radar detector but honestly I bought a 40 dollar radar detector before and it really didn't work all that well. Usually most of the time I could see the cop about the same time my detector did

Relax yall. atleast he didnt get a RMR or Cobra. i started the same way though but with cheap cobras. just start to save your money and get a V1, X50, RX65, or v995 all are great. Welcome to the board!
