**dejavu.69** · 03-30-2006, 10:02 AM

Hello, i am trying to get a nice radar for my wife, but i do not wanna spend that much because she always leaves the doors unlock so pro73, rx65, x50 and V1 are out. I have a V1 and its great, but i need a good radar with nice detection and performance. Any recommendations, tips? ideas? everythis is welcome, thanks again!

I hear ya about the doors unlocked part, my girl does the same

Maybe the BEL Express 795 would be good for her, or the Pro-58.

I was at light to turn left and there's an Evo in front of me(For Gainesville people, the light by the Publix by Newberry and 34th) so after we turn left the guy was waiting for me, he wanted to race but I knew I had no chance but I wanted to see the car accelerating, I got to his side we were going uphill so I'm doing 50 on 45 accelerating and right there practically at the top my PRO goes to 7 and no even a second later I had it in 9 (Ka), but I didn't care much but reduced the speed to 46+, the cop read his first (I think) the Evo's and then it got me, I don't know if the Evo got caught because I turn left at the next ligth and the cops normally park their car a little bit farther about 800 - 900+ feet, it was a constant because my RD went off all the way until I turn left at the next light

Edit: The Evo did not have a RD(didn't see one at least, I was looking)

Actually it was about 950+, I think
