    Re: Future Cobra Radars

    I believe they usually unveil new products at the SEMA show in early November. They usually go on sale by the beginning of the next year. If you can navigate it, you can search the FCC's website,...

    Re: V1 is Trully An Engineering Marvel

    Lol, well whatever. I ran my 9960g for like 3.5 years and it is pretty quiet on some K sources, I know that. And my iradar is a doorstop. Big Disappointment. I wanted to like the Vedetta but...

    Re: V1 is Trully An Engineering Marvel

    I've been going over V1 threads ever since mine arrived this week. I have to say, and I don't know if it's just this software rev or what, but...the V1's chattiness is waaay overstated. I was...

    Just got my new V1! Woooot!

    Well, after a few Belscorts and Cobras, I felt like I was living on borrowed time. My latest windshield detector in my daily driver was a Cobra 9960. Don't laugh, Ka range is pretty good and since...

    Re: Cobra Vedetta Radar Detectors

    Are you sure it wasn't a car? That radar collision avoidance or whatever it is seems to react that way on my 9960. Makes following newer Audis a PITA. Doesn't happen w my Escort, though...

    Re: Cobra Vedetta Radar Detectors

    I've kept my 9960 high mounted in front of my visor on two cars now and it has yet to get any interest from LEOs. I'll be interested to see if the range is actually "30%" better. My 9960g's always...

    Re: excellent off axis reception

    Yeah they actually aren't bad detectors, the "high end" ones, at least. The issue with Cobra (and to some degree, with Whistler) is they still market cheap, useless detectors to grab the bottom end...

    Re: excellent off axis reception

    You know my 9960g doesn't evidently show speed traps the way the iRad does. I don't know what the difference is. I bought an iRad on a lark just to see if it was any better but I ultimately decided...

    Re: excellent off axis reception

    Yeah my 9960g has pretty impressive off axis detection as well. I can't say it's been great in the past. The first "top of the line" Cobra I tried was the 9930 a few years back. It was deaf to...

    Re: What exactly is bad about cobras?

    Most of their features are crap but I have yet to tell any difference in performance between my v955, 8500, and my Cobra 9960. I bought it in Jan 2010 thinking it would be a fun toy at best (how...

    Re: Failure

    I have a 9960G and it's fine on K from actual guns but they definitely cranked it down to avoid "falses" from automatic doors. Off axis it's pretty weak. K used to be the only thing Cobras...

    I bought my 9960 thinking I might get use of the database but it has been more of a curiosity. There are no cameras on my normal commute. However, it is a source of non-stop entertainment whenever...

    Yeah I have every cell phone back to my Motorola MircoTac. Still wish I could use my circa 2001 Ericcson phone. It was the first one I had with wireless internet. Three awesome lines of text, lol.

    Re: 995 vs 955

    Don't know if you ever made a decision, but I'd say it's worth it to go for the 8500 or the v995. I have a 955 and an 8500 and while the range is great on the 955, it sucks not to be able to turn...
