x2. What basis are you making a comparison to call Cobra decent if you haven't used a mid-tier radar detector yet?[/QUOTE]
...

The Cobra RD's I had were pretty much decent. I won't lie. They saved me a bunch of times.. Hell, the 9985 saved me from Laser the only time I even encountered Laser. It's cool, you don't have to...

So you want to be a LEO to give everyone citations for speeding? Nice...after you have been using a detector and other tactics trying to avoid them and now you're going to "bag" people. You are a...

Honestly, my Cobra has saved me more than a few times..

lmao!

I'm still around.. Just browsing mostly.. Still have my Cobra. ;)

I did get pulled over about a month ago w/o warning.. I should post the story. Actually I will later, can't today, it's Sunday...

^ Ow.. And you would think the new ones were much more improved.. It does look nice uh?

Wow nice. My Cobra has been doing the same thing with the Ka alert. Don't know why.. If it keeps happening, I'll call them.

They're pretty much always in American made cars to add to that list.

I think the only real difference is the 50% more range the x50 has. Or whatnot. If it's even 50% more..

I wasn't considering a 995, just was curious.. If anything.

So hows the BEL v995 for you? Works great? We sell that here in Radio Shack for $299.99. I think the price is a little steep. With the Cobra 9985 coming in at $219.99. Hah.. But anyway, does it work...

Actually my 9985 did the same. I'm guessing it was 34.7 Ka. Like I've heard before, Cobra's won't pick up 35.5s. And I do believe it's true because I've seen a couple of state troopers parked on the...

Can't say I hate it.. For now.. Or until I have this RD. Oh, page 8. :p

Ah, it will probably be an Escort Passport 8500 x50. And yea.. It's flat here in Florida so the only hills I'll see is bridges. I used to own an Escort btw but it was stolen the first day I got it. ;)

Hmm.. Actually had my first Ka save today. Was going about 80ish in a 55 highway and all of a sudden Ka. So I slow down. Stays at level 1 for about 15 secs (thought it was a false) then it goes to 2,...

Ah, when I mean a couple of meters, I mean about 200m. So that would probably be around or close to 2 football fields or it seemed. Actually less. But you get I guess.. It was just enough to slow...

Haha, friend of mine has an '07 BMW 335i twin-turbo. He uses a Cobra 9930. I guess it's just the looks? (true story) Last year, when we used to work together, we were going home at around 3am and...

Heh.. I actually do. Trust me. I'm bound to get an alert one day. Hope it's not a distance where I can see the cop though. ;)

YouTube - Another one bites the dust Queen

Ah, I have a Cobra.. No problems.. Yet..

No doubt. I bought the 9985 version (same as 9930) for $80 brand new sealed. Good price indeed. But I have yet to see it in action. I've had it for a month.. No saves.. Because I see no cops.. Sucks..

What type of band do these state troopers use..? Ka 34.7? I haven't really spotted a laid low state trooper with this RD, but if it's true and I can't detect them, I'll sell this crap. So far, city...

Hmm.. Never thought of that.. :rolleyes:

I've left my Cobra overnight inside my car for about a month now.. Since I got it cheap, idc.

^ lol, but yea, they're pretty good in the city. I haven't detected any state troopers yet. Hell, those were the ones who made me buy a RD. But I've only seen 1 of them in the last few weeks. I did...
