No, it's not worth it. I just went through this very same thing over the past few weeks. Bought the same unit from Walmart to replace my failing Escort model expecting only reasonable performance...

Just got mine from Amazon yesterday and could not be more pleased. So far it has lived up to all of the positive testimonials posted on here. I've tested it in known false alarm areas as well as...

Will do once I get a chance to run it through a variety of driving conditions. I'd love to be one more on the Pro-78 bandwagon praising its worthiness. I know where most of the common trap areas are...

I figured it was going to be either the pro 78 or bel 940 recommended from the RDs I listed. The 995 still looks cool as hell, but it's almost $100 more just for freq. display and some additional...

OK experts, I need some advice. As much as I would love a V1 or a high-end Bel (love the STi) or Escort, I can't get one of these beasts because my wife would have an excrement fit if I spent...
