Need help with Phantom

[LoganRan]

Hi, just found this site and it looks like it'll help a lot in the future. but I just got a radar from my friend and cant figure out who makes it. All it says is phantom on the top in cursive type writing and is pretty square, not any round edges like the new ones. ive looked online and found rocky mountain radar who makes the phantom that is new and looks nothing like mine. I am going to napa tomorrow to get a power adapter, thats where my friend got his from. but if anyone has any information or websites on this radar that would be awesome. ill continue looking though.

Phantoms were great when they came out ... I was really happy with mine. The detection range was phenomenal. Got mine in 2001 and it was working great till recently. I guess it's obsolete already.
I didn't have a ticket for 6-7 years using the Phantom ... and I do drive fast !
I think then it was made by a different company.

Lately was looking for a new new detector and was going to get RMR, but after reading this forum went for V1 instead.

Still think that the detection range of the Phantom was better than x50 and V1.
Thinking to get RMR-450 and compare it to the V1.

Thanks ... got it !

Anyway ... I was not praising RMRs ( I don't have any experience with them), but the Phantom was one great detector and I think that then it was made by a different company.

I don't see anything about RMR in the rules? We've discussed them on here before.

hmm. maybe not. i read a post by a mod somewhere about discussing RMR and a user getting banned because of it. wasnt there a letter to roy about not discussing their product on the pages??? ill see what i can dig up

[stlcardsfan]

Well then that mod made up the rule because it ain't in there.
