    more simply you get what you pay for in many aspects of purchasing a radar detector

    At that price range a Bel or Whistler would be good. Stay away from Cobra though, their RDs are pieces of... well you know...

    from what I have read the v895 is pretty good and from personal experience, but it is 199+tax

    Do a search in this forum and read as much as you can on the 73 and the 895 see which one leads you to believe will give you the best protection and least falsing for the money you want to spend.

    Go with the pro 73, best detection for the price. Only $150 from radarbusters.com
