    Re: Whistler AXIS Detector with GPS!

    If you notice even the "Top Tier" RD's were at 9 miles on the SML Long Range Test, always take data from the SML tests with a grain of salt.

    Re: Whistler AXIS Detector with GPS!

    Not really interested much in the GPS/GPS features but if performance is improved that'd be nice. Can you tell us anything regarding the MSRP of the unit or is that still being discussed? Just...

    Re: Cobra Vedetta Radar Detectors

    I don't think the screen on that thing will alert LEOs behind you that you're running a radar detector and to play/hit you with I/O, no sir not at all, especially at night.

    Re: Pro78SE Issues

    Manufacturing variances sometimes cause even a brand new detector to come out "broken" and needing to be sent it for a fix. Sure it's a PITA but it happens with any mass produced electronic products....

    Re: Pro78SE Issues

    I've had no problems with my Pro-78SE giving me warnings for a good while before even getting to the LEO, even in I/O instances. By good while I mean I've gone 2-3 minutes from first alert before...
  10. Re: Do Radar Detectors detect whether or not they are being detected by Spectre?
