Hello from Ohio
Greetings to All !
Over the years I’ve had a few detectors.
My first was a Maxon. I worked great until it expired.
Then I acquired a Cobra Trapshooter which still woks but, has lost a great deal of its sensitivity.
I believe it was the first talking detector although all it would say is ‘Be Careful – Slow Down’.
Then I picked up a Whistler. Which seemed to work.
Couple of years ago, when I bought my G37 it became obvious I needed to get a new detector.
Saw advertisements for EarlyWarninng. Their pitch was that the make most the boards for other manufactures and were now marketing their own product.
First one I bought was a 3110 which ‘saved’ me a few times. It worked for about 7 months then went dark. So I bought a EW3140.
While I was setting up the 3140 I realized my wife had driven my car just before the 3110 stopped working. Somehow the 3110 was in mute and dark mode. (Was Really Embarrassed)
Ohio has every kind of radar known to man and those darn traffic monitors.
Started looking for a better detector and saw the MAX. After reading reviews was disappointed in its range and price.
The Valentine looks like a nice unit but from what I’ve seen it requires a lot of interaction and is noisy.
The Redline and Magnum look appealing but those traffic sensors are still out there and a number of people have been complaining about the blind spot detection systems.
The Uniden 950 almost got me to pull the trigger until I saw they are bringing out a newer model that hopefully will make it more robust.
The Two thing I’m sure of are no detector is prefect and when you have a car that will jump to double the posted speed limit without any effort,
Any Detector is better than not having one on the dash, mirror or visor.
Good Day
