Second, you get what you pay for, a cheap RD means more tickets (distance and how fast the RD is). Now, there are some non cheap RDs that are nothing but bells and whistles, look for performance, then ask here on input. For example, not pickin' on the $500 Escort Redline, but is is known to not alarm on I/O. Everything out there has a pro and a con about it! Always ask and don't believe the bs on adds for they will milk you for money to subscribe for this and that. The 8500 is a mid RD- not good enough (guys of lidar)! Cobras spew out freq on the airways and makes life hell for other users plus it is slow, never buy a cobra!...I use a Valentine One and can say (with it's new phone apps) is the standard to beat for performance and cost $399! But, ones needs maybe different than mine, I/O radar.......
