Which radar Detector to use in Europe

Whats up Guys!
I have had many radar detectors before and liked most of them,i currently have the Bel RX65 and love it.However i know it wont work in Europe/SWITZERLAND.
I currently reside in Los Angeles.

can anyone tell me which radar detectors will work in SWITZERLAND,and what frequencies and Bands they use?I definitely need one that will be able to g into hidden mode,so that i don't get caught with it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I would also like to add that i did a search and came up with a lot of Old Threads,so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'am mostly curious if i can buy a detector here in the US and use it in SWITZERLAND.

I currently own the Vector 995 M4 Platform, and I know it has the Ku Band feature for European driving. Don't know how good the range is considering I live in the states.

I would go for the V1.

The V1 is one of the few detectors which is capable to detect the "Traffic Observer" (laser measuring device).

K-Band, Ka-Band (low powered Multanova 6F) and Laser. "Section Control" is coming soon.

There are no RDDs in Switzerland.

Bel sti,good european laser jammer, Al9 or laser interceptor and good gps database (snooper)

I would suggest getting an undetectable Radar Detector. They are illegal in most of Europe and one can cross a border easily. I accidentally crossed the border from Italy into Switzerland with realizing it just a few months ago.
So - I would suggest a Sti / Redline etc.

sti-r

I live in Europe and I'm a V1 user. Even if radar detectors are illegal in most Europe, I've never seen a RDD and I travel a lot. Just hide your RD and you'll be fine. LEO will not try to detect your RD but look for it. Eye detection :)

Use a remote detector where the detectors are not legal. STI and redline are still visible in the middle of the windshield. A cop will notice the detector.
RX65E and 8500X50E are good against low power photo radar.

A V1 with concealed display and visor mount is virtually impossible to spot by LEO. Also, if you choose V1, don't use it in Euro mode. Send me a PM and I'll tell you the settings you should use in Europe.

That makes no sense. Not every canton uses K-Band in Switzerland so he need a opportinity to turn ON/OFF K-Band quickly and comfortable via "control knob".

Or what is your thought behind your statement?

In Switzerland, K band 24.15 GHz and Ka band 34.36 GHz coexist. There's no need to turn one off. Plus, IMO, in Euro mode V1 becomes less responsive than in A mode with everything on. It's not like I tested this, it's just an observation I made in my trips across Europe (from Romania to France, for instance). I prefer to switch between L and A (city / highway). In Euro mode you have no Logic (city) mode and V1 can become annoying. Read some European forums and you'll see almost everybody use A and L instead of U and u.

Hello!

And thanx for all the help.
I have purchased a Redline,and i hope it will be of good use.
Anyone use the redline in europe?I have mounted it up by the rear view mirror and have the remote mounted in the Ashtray.
