vector 945 or 995

[turbocharged]

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this great and very helpful board...

anyways, i have a choice between these two radar detectors, and i know absolutely nothing about which one is the best and more efficient. (yes, im a newbie)

my mate offering me to buy his 995 for dirt cheap and my father offering me to take his 945 for free, which had been in use for over 6 months, so my question is basically, does it worth to pay extra and get a 995 model, or i can be still secured with lower end 945

thanks

It is def. the 945 does it look like this? If it is the one I am thinking of then it is a pretty good detector, same platform as the 960 and 985 about 6 years old or so.

I would use it as see what you think, by the way what is cheap for the 995?

My understanding is that these two RDs should have similar performance. The v995 has a lot more features.

Just how much do you have to pay? That will help us....

all i have to pay is $100 for the 995 version and its only few months old...

btw, i did some research on the topic, and found out that vector 945 is a model from the previous line(year 2006), while the 995 model is the current top version from the Bel(except of STi, of course).. but im still curious about performance of 945, since my goal is to have better ka-band performance

The 945 is the previous model vector, same platform as the older 960 and 985. I am almost certain it is based off the S7 platform. As for performance it still can hang with the current models. These models do not have POP. The 945 does not have Tech Display.
