    Default Should I go to local stores and ask?

    I have been wanting to do this whole hat cam and stuff. But that kinda fell through for now. However I thought about maybe doing some audio stuff.

    Should I go to local stores and catch the audio of questions I ask.

    What is a good radar detector?
    What are the most used bands?
    What is k band?
    What is laser?

    Just questions and see how they answer. Thought it might be kinda fun to compare what they say.

    Stores: Radio Shack, Circuit City, Best Buy, Fry's, Car Toys and maybe a mom and pop store some where.

    it'd be interesting to see who is full of the most BS in texas cause i doubt any of those fools will know anything.

    my guess is at rat shack you'll get the biggest load of BS they try to act so technical but they dont know jack half the time :twisted: i would work there but u know ops: :wink:

    Yeah, I am with you. I would like to hear what they have to say. I worked at radio shack a long time ago. I don't think I ever sold a radar detector and I didn't know a thing about em. I could tell you all you wanted to know about a scanner though.

    So, what are some basic questions that someone would ask if they knew nothing. I have in my head what I would ask. I am really hoping to get someone who knows something and test his knowledge.

    Yeah, I use to work at RS as well. Of course, we didn't sell RDs. But I have been to right many lately, and they don't know a lot. But for the most part, they admitted to not knowing. I appreciate that more then a lot of BS about how good Cobras are.

    Well in your in luck to the whole admitting I don't know anything. I have been wanting to do this for a while. What prompted this was when I went to radio shack before I got a detector. I remember asking about them and they were trying to sell me one in a package on the wall. I thought ok some stores have these locked up and this one is only like 50 bucks and is on the wall so it must suck. I am not sure exactly what he was telling me about it at the time. But knowing what I know now I am going to go to one and ask some questions for the fun of it.
