Hi folks new guy's first post...
I'm shopping for my first RD. I've read a bunch of reviews, and I'm having trouble figuring out the right price tier for me. I know the easy answer is to spend what it takes to get the top tier units, but going over $300 is not easy for my wallet. On the other hand, spending $200 and NOT getting an effective RD would be worse.
So - my question is: How much money do you really have to spend to get "effective protection"? I'm mostly on California freeways - I will primarily see radar-equipped CHP (is that Ka?) on highway 101 in Ventura & Santa Barbara Counties. Does spending $160 for a Whistler 695SE/78SE get the job done, or do I really need to step-up to the Bel RX65, or even higher? What's the *relative* performance increase you get when you take the steps from sub-$200 to ~$250 to over-$300?
