Opinion Needed

**DRT** · 02-15-2007, 01:35 PM

I currently use a Bel 795 and am looking for a new detector, however, I cant spend a lot of money. I have been considering a bel 940 or maybe a whistler pro-58. Any thoughts on which might be the best overall detector?

Well, the Pro-58 costs 106 dollars(shipping included) from Roy, while the 940 costs 150ish (I think). I don't know how they compare against each other, the the Pro-58 is great for the price.

You will be happier with the Bel than with the Whistler...

What is the max that you can spend?

My price range is about $150 and under. I'd love to have an 8500x50 but can spend the money for one.

Whistler Pro-73 from Roy for $150

The Bel 940 is a decent detector. I have also heard that the Whistler Pro 58 and 73 are good as well.

$150 probably isn't enough to find any better, even on ebay.

for the budget it seems the pro58 or 73 or the 940.

If he were really tight on money, isn't the Pro-58 and the Pro-73 the same thing, except for the 73 having some extra features. If the detection is the same, would the features be worth the extra 50 dollars?
