just had a quick question....i recently bought a used car and was cleaning it today and found what one guy says looks like a "vintage" radar detector. it was stashed under the seat...the make and model is MAXON RD-25...all's i know is that its old. i cant find ANY information about it and was wondering if anyone here knows anything about it. please let me know. thanks!
X and K band only I think. Have you tried powering it up?
yeah i plugged it in and it works just fine....seems to be picking up building security or something though, i dont know about cops.
Automatic door openers and some security systems are major false source. I wouldn't trust that RD to protect me these days since most police departments have Ka and Laser guns now

Yeah, it's older then a grandpa's balls. Useless but still a neat find. Post pics of the RD.

I don't know about that one, but years ago I tried a RD. I can't recall which/what it was, but I got it one day and I gave up the next day. It totally wouldn't shut up - so annoying, that I had gone years without. Recently I got back into trying - ah, so much better with today's technology.
I don't know why but I want to say back then that it was a Uniden RD, but I'm not to sure since it's been some time.
I just like what's available today for actual use.

It's not going to protect you these days, but I love collecting classic radar detectors. That one is a good find. I recently obtained a Whistler Spectrum 2 SE from my Dad.
You kidding me? I still have my passport 5000! LOL
i'll put up some pics soon. I don't have it in the car though..but it would be cool to put it in there just for kicks
I picked up that same RD on an auction site for $3! Used it as a trade-in RD for Bel's $80 GX65 trade-in program. :D
