HI !

[MOPARado]

Been using radar detectors off and on for a whole bunch of years going back to the original FuzzBuster! Wish i still had that thing!

Recently returned my 9500ix and am maybe gonna wait for Escort's next generation gps platform! Though i've been toying with the idea of picking up a V1.

In the meantime i've settled on a Whistler 78SE since i've had decent alerts with my old Whistler xtr-695.

Anyhow, glad to be here!

Welcome to the forum. Interesting mix of radar detectors in your recent past. You may also want to look at laser countermeasures too (if they are used in your area).

thx1138, appreciate the welcome!

My county Sheriff i think uses exclusively Ka band
The State Patrol uses K, Ka
My neighboring county and its city LEO's use X, K, Ka and anything in between if they can get away with it! The LEO's in that county are on a ticket writing frenzy!
To my knowledge there is no LIDAR being used in my area.

The same is not true of my nearby neighboring state. Any and all things go there including RLCs.. a genuine Law Enforcement free for all you might say. Needless to say, i only cross state lines when i have to.
Recently got a ticket there in a one horse town, not for speeding but for going around a car making a left turn. Passing on the shoulder he called it! Hugh!! What shoulder??

You might want to take a harder look at the V1...if you have the funds a V1 coupled with a Bel STi-r (discontinued) or 9500CI would be the ultimate radar detector set-up. The V1 picks 33.8/34.7 up well, and struggles a bit on 35.5.

I'm not sure what Ka frequencies are used in your area. Read up here and read the guysoflidar 2009 results.
