    Welcome to the forums! However, it's time for an upgrade. How'd it work for you over the years?

    Welcome, and I will have to echo what the others have said. Is that Cobra the only detector you have owned? If it is, concider purchasing a Bel/Escort or a V1. Even if you buy a Bel RX65or Escort X50, your jaw will drop at what kind of performance you've been missing out on!
    Outside Independence Hall when the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

    -V1 3.872 (1.3 Mi. C/O Ka pointed away from me. 3.6 Mi. C/O K)-Bel RX65 New Backup (4.1 Mi. C/O Ka 35.494 Ghz, light traffic) -Laser Interceptor Gen-8 Dual (No saves yet ) -Bel 980. -Galaxy DX 959 with a peak and tune.
    -Wilson Lil' Wil antennae. -Whistler 1585. -Whistler 1430. -Passort 3200 w/ 1000 laser detector (got stolen, bought one off ebay for nostalga).
    -Cobra Trapshooter RD-31XX? (Can't remember silver/teardrop shape X, K only). -Cobra Trapshooter RD-3110 (my first RD in 1987, when Cobras were good, bought one off ebay for nostalga new in the box). -Kustom HAWK. -Kustom Falcon cordless K Band. -Kustom Talon.

    You own a paper weight and Cobra is the reason why all other detectors false on Ka band and k band from leaky Cobras. I would do a heavy upgrade. V1 is a option. You need to tell us what kind of terrain you drive in and city or highways and we can lead you the right way.

    OP,

    9 out of 10 Radardetector.net members HATE cobra RD's LOL . Also FYI there is a separate cobra section for specific stuff.
