Welcome to the forum! Tell us a little about you.

[Marty]

Lead Foot...Ambulance driver/funeral director DAD-----got us boys started on Radar detectors at a VERY young ago...Back before the police radar hanging out the rear side window-of their squads....His first one was a lil square one that fit on the visor of the car. It always had a lil static sound and would BARK when radar was close...LOL....Then...years of Fuzzbuster types of detectors. HE HAD A LED FOOT-as it was 350 miles from S. Illinois to Chicago...for visits and all. So...been a junkie since I was 7...As a mortician...My specialty is more embalming/transportation these days...getting folks home-for burial. I average about 25-30 K miles a year....West to Iowa..South to Florida....East to NY...North to Canada...so, I need protection! I have told Roy...I have just updated to the Passport-and LIVE-and hope this helps. My RX 65 was my gal!!! What a GREAT detector (She still rocks but--is slow--on detection-these days)...I am going to Florida first week of Feb---looking forward to playing all the way there and back. I was a RABBIT driver until about ten years ago...I take much more care these days..with my driving...My Black Lab Jetta pretty much goes everywhere with me...and is use to the SOUNDS of Radar Detectors....Roy --lets see...This is my 3rd detector in 10 years with him...I get about 3 good years out of them-and have NEVER had a problem....Plug-Program-and go. OH--I wrote a book called Final Celebrations a while back...and still write a lil and serve as the VP of the Cook County Funeral Directors Asspciation-in Chicago. A quick note on Chicago..To keep this shorter (lol)...The camera's in use there, for lights and speeding--is a TRAIN WRECK! Chicago was sold a bag of goods on these canera's...which included..MAJOR bribes..when they picked a private company to install/run them. Lawsits are flying..on the simple premise: "Why should I pay for a ticket---from a camera..that was all begun--with a FELONY ACT?" Interesting to sit back and watch this mess...BTW: I know where all of these are-in the Chicago area..I will go in next week. and make sure--they are all marked on LIVE...Well...There is a start....Be well...and stay safe out EAST....Marty the Mortician...and JUNKIE!

Younger--it was Party Marty....Farty Marty...Leaving the L off of my last name (When I played sports at the visitors-they ALWAYS left the L off) BASTAGES....I was The Commish-til retirement-but in Illinois-you keep your status til death--unless you REALLY screw up..So now its just Marty the Mortician...I embalm and transport a lot now so..LIVE should keep me busy--there is only so much you can say--when Communing with the dead..and my Lab-Jetta....and I wear her out--She sleeps...and no one talks back.....I have found now that I am almost 53 Roy--I get stopped about every 2-3 years--and have no tickets..I am polite..have all my id's and stuff ready when they approach..keep my hands on the wheel...shut the van off..and just be me..no tickets--and have found all have been very polite-too. Amazing--Maybe it was because I was a Commissioner (I do give them my retired ID-and tell them...Just so you know I AM RETIRED...they laugh )...I am told to slow down..be safe.....EVEN a Texas DPS officer was just as nice as can be...we talked Interdiction for 20+ mins...LOL (I wrote his commander and got a nice note back)..ANYWAY---the thread to THANK ROY was closed so-Thank you...Later today-off to the North-to try my new gear..and LIVE...So..Thank you again...I will check in....MF--OH Florida is next week...Chicago--Missouri...Tenn...GA....Florida...and a different way--back....LOTSA Detectoring to do...--and as promised--I go into Chicago and make sure LIVE has em all marked (Stop/Speed Camera's)..and a reminder...TRS is being used in ILLINOIS now I-57 from Chicago to the end..PACKED!!!

[Marty]

HAD my first trip with my new Passport/Live...The Detector/live with my Samsung note--worked PERFECTLY Roy...thanks for helping me out....I even put the old RX 65 up for a lil challenge..and Passport won...The old RX grabbed every signal..MANY falses...but its pick up was slower than the Passport..Again...Thanks Roy...Marty
