    Don't get it. .

    it is a decent detector of constant on. But won't ever save you from a cop running instant on over a hill.

    In a dead on flat test you might get 1-2 miles. But in a real alert - half mile at best is all I've ever seen with it.

    Basically its a nice detector if you'd like to know if a cop has his radar on.

    But for ample warning to slow down. Not a chance.

    That was a joke, right? Sorry, but I'm gonna burst your bubble here

    No. Not at all. If you're going to speed that much you'd want a top 3. A Whistler might barely catch it.

    A Cobra is good (most of the times... not even always) for going 10 over and knee-jerk slam the brakes if the detector makes a PEEP.

    My Cobra when "reliably" detecting Ka band constant on will detect it when an oncoming cop is about 5 cars away, a stationary cop is 300-500ft away. Other times it is tone deaf, and I could be following a cop seeing that his radar gun is on and being operated and not a peep.
