At my local pawnshop I am thinking of buying a Whistler 1660 or a Bel Express 936. I know that these are older models but I can't afford a V1. I read the epinions review but thats it. Were there any types of tests conducted with these units, and/or does anyone have any experience with them?
How much can you pick these up for at the pawn shop?
x2 Most anything is better then nothing, but I wouldnt count on too much from either unit... Certainly wouldnt go anything past 5 over.Quote:

Put out around 1999. I paid 200 for it awhile back. Its better than nothing and is a reminder to keep it under. I wouldnt pay more thab 30 bucks for one now since they dont have the range and filtration etc of the newer. It does have instant on detection. I just consider it helpful in the way of setting up for an approaching LEO, Because with my luck I pull a quick maneuver around someone and there they are to witness it.
Bel 936 sensitivity:
X=108.2
K=106.3
Ka=103.0 (average of three bands)
Owned one, used it for years, not bad, not awesome either.
Whistler 1660 sensitivity:
X=103.3
K=100.9
Ka=91.8 (average of three bands)
Never owned one, can't believe it would be worth owning given it's Ka sensitivity.
is that feet or meters?
thats like 30 Meters of Ka sensitivity lol.
