    Well we are going to need some type of price range. Also, what kind of driving does he do mostly....highway/city etc?

    1. What state does he live in
    2. Where does he most often drive? city/highway

    You might consider getting him a gift card for $100 or so. Then he can put some more money on it and get one of the top three.

    Loves to speed? A RD wont be of much help. Try talking him out of becoming an organ donor. That way he will be your boy friend longer.

    I think my Beltronics 940 is probably the best band for buck, when looking under $200. I need a better RD though. You should get him a gift car or look on ebay for a NICE detector. I think you can get a new RX65 off ebay for $220.

    You don't have to spend to much to get a good detector. Get him a Valentine 1 for only $399 plus shipping.

    I'd get him an Escort 8500 X50.
    Great detector that won't drive him nuts with false alerts.

    I've had mine for 3 years ( No tickets ever !!! ).
    Of course you have to know how to use your detector
    but all in all, It's saved me many a time.

    What's your price range?
    The X50 will run you $299.00

    I'm going to be very up front with you, anything under
    $120.00 isn't all that great.

    Here's some advice:

    Don't buy a Cobra
    Don't buy off e-bay.
