If you own a cobra, you will either get depressed in this forum, or inspired to spend some money.

Bad decision. Cobra radar detectors are one of the worst radar detector brands. I suggest you look into the refurb Escort 8500 or the Whistler Pro 78SE if you are on a tight budget.

You're going to need something that is good with Instant on and quick trigger on Missouri Highways or you're going to get owned badly.

The Cobra may make you feel safer than you really are. Be careful and save for a V1.

Welcome to the forum, it was a good decision to join. Cobras really give you a false sense of security. It hope after being a member here for a while you will do yourself a favor and upgrade to Whistler, Bel Vector series, or a Escort Refurb all cost under $200.

At a minimum I would suggest ebaying the Cobra since it gives false security and no security is better than false security.

Welcome!
