Modification

Is there any modifications that can be done to my older Radar detector to make it better, or increase range?

I have searched the net and found nothing.

No, there really isn't anything practical you can do...

I was able to tweak my old Bel 966W, but I highly doubt my hand tuning made it better than when it left the factory back in 1992.

Lots and lots of aluminum foil, cardboard, and tape. It may get you seen sooner, though

Throw it at the next car that cuts you off and buy a new top 3 or 5 RD

Gut it out....have a flashing LED on it....and wha-la...a brand New RMR!

actually, a few years ago I bought a BEL 944 Express X/K/Ka photo radar only for a few bucks at a garage sale. Called BEL to see if they could add new technology to that "box" (I liked the style of the 944 express)...and they said "impossible".
