    It's a nice mid level RD with the same detection capabilities as the other Bel Vector series RD's 955, 965 and 995, but it does lack features such as the ability to turn off radar bands. Bare bones RD with nice range.

    I would say the X50 is slightly better detectionwise. However, the X50 has much better features, spec, expert, etc...

    Default V940

    I use the V940 and it has saved me many times over the last year. I say go for it.

    I wouldn't want to be without the ability to turn off selected bands to avoid the "cry wolf effect" . You really do start to tune out, get slow, or waste time looking around to see/evaluate if it could be a real cop before slowing down.

    If you can affordt he extra for a detector that lets you select bands, I think it's very well worth the extra money.

    Agreed, the ability to shut down X band was the exact reason I went from a 940 to the 995. I also enjoy tech mode.

    wow, thank you for the replies. thx so much..

    I live in phoenix, AZ.

    honestly, I dont really ever travel downtown and such.. so ya..

    I currently have x50, its a great detector, it saved me about 10-12 times for sure... and i dont need to turn off any bands..

    I will think about buy this v940 brand new for 100 dollars.. its on craigslist.. and i have to drive an hour to get it.. -_-

    anyways, thanks a lot.
