    Default Best detector for about $200?

    Need advice from my fellow detector users. I am considering buying a new detector for about $200. I purchased a Whistler xtr190. Cordless and you get what you pay for. It seems to be sensitive to other detectors. I owned a Escort 8500 years ago. It was a decent detector but the price of the 8500 x50 is a bit steep. Any suggestions?

    X2, you said it, you get what you pay for!....I would never tell some to buy a RD that is not a top performer unless I want to pay for their ticket!

    Get a used 8500 x50 from Ebay for 150 or less. Also check your local craigslist and pawn shops. This is the best cheap rd
