So this renders the unit useless around town, but okay for motorways/highways. I was looking at upgrading to a Beltronics v995 which appears to do all the bands I need along with a good set of features, and a low price point when purchased 2nd hand.
My question is is there any point buying this unit in the UK since almost all LEOs use laser detection now? Will it still give false alerts at almost every traffic light?
My daily drive is typically a short trip down the motorway and some city driving occassionally.
Thanks for any info you can give.
