drivin a bit too fast
Getting back to my previous post before I was so rudley interupted, can someone give me some names and models of good radar detectors that do not chime for alarms, door openers, traffic, etc, and do not have an automated voice on them. Any opinions would be appreciated. Oh and I am getting one, so i don't need anyone trying to talk me out of it or anything, personal preference is personal preference. Thanks

It has a function (that probably most detectors have) where you can cut off the X-band. Most alarms are X-band and no PD has X-band anymore. Some alarms are K-band though, but it not very frequent.
But pretty soon they are going to use a new technology where they can catch you by measured distance. You know those cool yellow fieldmarkers(LOS and 1st down) they use on football games now? Well cops are going to start using that same priciple to catch us. And it will be undetectable.
If your like me and you drive at least 10 miles over the speed limit, your gonna have to deal with paying for a couple of tickets(I
ve had 5 in this car).

Excellent man, thank you very much, can you tell me more about these markers, i'm a bit scared so far. I have never gotton a ticket(knock on wood) and i cannot fathom how or why I have been this lucky. I have been pulled over once by 3 cops, but only recieved a verbal warning, however I know its most likely inevitable. Thanks again man. Sweet ride

Many only have one or two reviews, but they're (supposedly) written by people who own the product. You can search by price or manufacturer.

Cop Radar
I got the next best thing to radar detectors. Cop Radar!! LOL seriously though, I swear I do, ask my friends. I don't know why or how but I just seem to automatically slow down like seconds before the po-pos come around the corner. Drive like hell on wheels, even been called in on for ebrake turns and burnouts, get stare downs from the cops, Never Been Stoped, 3 years and running. My single greatest accomplishment!
