My Sensoro Traveller II - am I a fool?

**jmd** · 12-22-2006, 06:18 PM

Hello, I'm new to these forums but I would like some input about my current radar detector situation.

A while back, I purchased a Sensoro/PNI Traveller II detector to replace an older detector and so far, I have been very happy with it. The reviews at the time of my purchase were very positive and I felt that I was making a decent purchase for my price range. Now, after owning it for a while, I'm reading reviews that it might not be as good as I seem to think it is.

I really don't have the budget to justify a new Valentine or a Bel STi but should I consider scrapping the Traveller II and looking for something different? From what I can remember, Radar Roy's reviews of that unit were very positive.

thanks in advance

The Traveller II does provide you with some level of protection. But there are a lot better units out there. If you only occasinally speed maybe 5 over or something then you'll be fine with the Traveller. But if you habitually go 10 or more over the speed limit, you might consider looking for something better.

I was afraid of that. It seems that I have some major reading to do now.

thanks for you input

what speeds would you typically drive?

I think we'd probably rather not know

I would prefer not to incriminate myself at this point.

Good point jmd and welcome to the board.

Quick question, what does it mean if a detector is Speed Measurement Labs certified?

I've seen this on everything from early warning cheapies to higher end detectors.

I think it just means SML tested it, and the RD company is using it (the testing) as like a marketing ploy to show consumers its a tried and trusted product. (Could be wrong though).
