    In all honesty, Cobra's are not very good radar detectors. They don't do there job very well and they also leak frequency that sets off other detectors on the road.

    Tell your friend to look into these, their far superior.

    Beltronics Vector 940
    Whistler Pro 73

    Word to the wise: Stay away from those square boxes that make my detector false. I think they call them Cobra's.

    Beltronics Vector 940 = $169.95

    as they say its not a cop detector, its a radar detector.. But yes, your buddy is better off without a cobra due to poor performance and a nuisance to other detector users because it leaks..
