Hello

[snoopyc4]

I recommend the Escort X50 or the whistler pro78se since your price range is so low. What car do you drive? Also, ditch the cobra. Its nothing but junk.

My current DD is my Tacoma truck, so the Escort X50 or the whistler pro78se detect radar and the laser?

They will detect radar and laser but the laser detection is worthless. The only time they will detect laser is if you are the target of the laser gun. By the time you get the alert, the officer will already have your speed. To beat laser, you need a laser jammer.

Wow, That video of the Blinder sure is impressive! But man they are kind of expensive!
Laser does seem to be a popular choice of local LEO's here lately though. Does the blinder M27 or M25 have a kill switch or do you use the power switch as one?

[Stealth Stalker]

Power switch is a kill switch. That's all it takes. A separate switch to stop jamming without turning the unit off would be seriously overcomplicating a simple issue, lol.

Welcome cornfused.

I have to contend a little with the 'laser detection being useless'. I've had several saves on a busy interstate where laser is commonly used with my X50. I'm sure I was picking up some sort of reflection, and reaction has to be very quick. But it is not a sure defense, there is no sure defense, only better ones. And having a RD that detects laser is better than not having one!

But if laser is common on your commute, a jammer should be in your plans!

I can't say about the Whistler products, they have many fans here. But my Escort 8500x50 has served me well for ~6 years.
