    Default Vector 940 radar won't detect radars

    Hello, i recently got a vector 940 radar detector for free. When i plug it in everything starts up great and seems like its perfect. Sadly it doesn't seem to detect any radars... have drove past many cops and have went to areas where my friends radars go off. Just really would like to know if it is done for or is there any way to repair it? Thanks

    Couple of things:

    Have you checked to see if all the bands are enabled using the menu system of the detector?

    Have you actually confirmed that radar is being used, like directly comparing the behavior to your friend's detector at that time.

    If it is indeed dead, you may want to see about sending it back to Escort to get it repaired, or perhaps better yet, look into doing a trade-in credit with Escort or going to RadarBusters and doing a "trade-up."

    Details can be found on RadarBusters.com

    Other great detectors to consider today are the Whistler CR93 as well as the new Radenso XP (which is really a fabulous detector).

    Good luck and welcome to the forum.
