    2011 HP Dual vs 2012 Dual

    A coworker of mine offered me their LI HP Dual setup for a pretty good price, but I also noticed the announcement on the LI site of the new 2012 sensors, so that got me thinking...

  2. Re: What gives? Beltronics Detector Tools Update Recognized as Virus by Norton

    I used Norton years ago, thought it was pretty bloated and annoying to deal with. For the past 2-3 years I've used Microsoft Security Essentials on my machines without any issues. Free & regularly...
  3. Re: Listening to Music - Alternative to Burning CD's?

    Aux input connected to my Zune's car charger, or plugged directly into my phone for Pandora. There's a few CDs in the car if all else fails and I need something to listen to, but my Zune keeps my...
  4. Re: Upcoming cross-country trip: Upgrade RD or get LI?

    Stopped by the shop and wound up picking up a peaked & tuned Uniden PRO68XL and a Little Wil, which turned out to be tuned just fine for the GTI when we tested it on the car. Unfortunately I paid...

    Re: Hotwire

    I'd totally buy a mount like this. It's not that convenient for using 1 RD in multiple cars, but being able to take the RD out of the car without leaving a power cord dangling from the headliner...

    Re: Texting While Driving (NY, Dutchess County)

    I don't have to put my Bluetooth headset "in my hand" to use it, but I do have to touch it to accept a call on a phone that's mounted in a car cradle. Does this law mean I can still get ticketed for...

    I-80 Utah, Wyoming, Nevada

    I've checked the sticky thread about bands/enforcement types used, but how often do drivers encounter speed traps along I-80 through these states? Are there any areas in particular that are more...
  8. Re: Upcoming cross-country trip: Upgrade RD or get LI?

    I think I'll be heading to a CB shop in the area to see what they have/suggest for a radio. They carry Wilsons so a Little Wil will be the antenna, now just to see if they have any compact radios...
  9. Re: Upcoming cross-country trip: Upgrade RD or get LI?

    Any advice on protecting the paint underneath a magnetic mount? A friend of mine has a trucker friend who suggested cellophane between the paint and the magnet.

    EDIT: Starting to seem like this...
  10. Re: Upcoming cross-country trip: Upgrade RD or get LI?

    I do remember last time I asked for advice when I did the I90/94 route that CBs came up. They also seem to be the cheapest option. I defintely don't want to drill into the car and I'm worried about...
  11. Upcoming cross-country trip: Upgrade RD or get LI?

    Not sure what forum this should go in, so I plopped it here.

    I'm moving to the west coast this summer and plan on a cross-country drive along I-80, taking a detour through CA to highway 101, and...

    Re: Cleveland to Seattle - What to expect?

    I won't be spending very much time off the Interstate through either of the Dakotas (only to for gas stops), so I'm mostly concerned about the LEOs I'll be running into along I-90/I-94. Sounds like...

    Re: Cleveland to Seattle - What to expect?

    That's exactly the kind of post I was looking for, thanks! Also, do you recommend SD at night because there's less LEOs out or because there's just nothing worth seeing?

    Anyone have experience...

    Cleveland to Seattle - What to expect?

    I'm taking a road trip out west for a summer internship in a few weeks, and since I'll be driving through states I'm not familiar with, I'd like some advice on what to expect.

    There's also two...

    It would be interesting to see the breakdown between worst places for highway tickets and worst places for general tickets. When I lived in Maine, I almost never saw police on the interstate (and...

    Re: laser & radar dector under $200 in illinois

    If I'm not mistaken, the 8500 is a windshield-mount detector. Another alternative around that price point is the Bel 955, which I own. It doesn't have the sensitivity of the real high-end RDs, but my...

    Re: New member from Ohio

    A little late in the thread, but keep everything on in Ohio. I know they use X, though I have yet to see it on the highways. I have seen K, Ka, and LIDAR used at the same time in one stretch of I-95,...
  19. Re: Anyone Want Some Genuine Stealth Body Panels?

    Don't forget, the faceted shape of the F-117 also plays a big part in making the plane so stealthy. You might have to fashion the pieces into a body kit for your car. At least it would have more...

    Re: Help a newbie pick their first RD?

    Yup, when I was driving home I saw a cop on the side of the road with his LIDAR gun out. Didn't paint me though, or it was too close for the 955 to pick it up. Fortunately traffic kept me well under...

    Re: WTF is with all the I/O in New England?

    I got lit up coming back home at night. I was on Rte. 6 on the Cape, eastbound and decided to pass a volvo SUV in front of me (PSL 55, I'm doing 65 to pass). As *soon* as I nudge ahead my 955 lights...

    Re: Help a newbie pick their first RD?

    I think I'm going to go with the 955, from the reviews I've been able to find it seems like the most solid detector. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

    Usually I don't speed very much in the...

    Re: Help a newbie pick their first RD?

    Not sure what the cop used to get me. He was a City of Cleveland officer, probably doing a speedtrap or happened to be driving down the end of I-490. Judging how the city's budget seems to be, I...
