    Default Vector 895 experiance

    Today in the morning I was driving down some back roads and suddenly got a Ka reading 2 bars, slowed it down to the limit, and around the next curve, meter went full blast and there he was parked back in the woods. This thing saved me today!

    On the way home pull up to a light and the bars go up, i look around and theres another one just crusing around.

    I'm loving it so far!!!!! :!: :!: :!: :!: only my second day using it.....

    Glad to hear that it is working well for you. It's a fine detector

    jkb1441,

    You are not the only one loving their new v895. I have had mine for just a little over a week. It has also saved me big $$$ so far on three different occasions. I do believe that the V895 does live up to the 2005 shootout test/reviews done by radarbusters.com. And by motor trend reports. In there testing it rival the top RD's they tested in some cases and cost 100's less. You can not beat it for performance and value!
    I would not give it up even for a RX65 at this moment.

    Here are the links for there test reviews if you or anyone else would like to check them out. Have fun with your new RD.....I sure am.:-)

    I got saved today by my 945.

    About 1/4 mile+ out over two hills, no rabbit, no oncoming traffic. Constant Ka. I slowed down to PSL as soon as it went off (1 bar, then 2)before I crested the first hill. I didn't see LEO (and he couldn't have seen me) 'til I crested second hill.

    Sittin' ~25' off the road on my side, in a farm field drive, parallel to the road, facing me.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the range, especially after reading the test results on more expensive units for OTH range!

    I sure do wish the testing would include the less expensive Escorts and Bels, and only the most expensive cobras.

    I don't see the v895 listed in their test.

    Here is the link you listed below:

    It is the correct link. Click on "Over the Hill testing" to see some of the results.

    My 895 didn't save me on Instant Ka the other week...lol. But what does? Now I have to spend $400 to get out of the ticket...maybe.

    Ka kills my RD. As soon as I hear it, I slow down IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! I ran into last night, gave me about a 4 tenths of warning

    a scorpion jammer , if they're costumer service would be great and it can jam even at 100 feet i would seriously consider getting one of those bad boys regardless of the $1500 price tag, i just got tired of pointless speeding tickets
