Who runs radar and what brand?

My first radar detector was the original "Snooper" I had in my Fiat Spider back in 1977. Don't remember it being much good. Up until I purchased my 996 a year ago I'd been running a Passport 8500 for at least 12-14 years with excellent results (ie NO TICKETS) My 996 came with a Passport SRX and from what I've been able to find out it was their top of the line unit from several years ago retailing for an outlandish $1,499 not including install. I'm still ticket free but for some reason don't have the confidence in the Passport SRX that I had in my faithful Passport 8500.

Bel-Tronics!

I've run Escorts/Passports since the early 80s and currently have the 9500iX that has GPS to recognize and then lockout false alarms by location. I've tried the V1 but still greatly prefer the Passport.

V1. Love the arrows. The real issue is something to combat Laser....(i.e. Laser Inteceptor)

laser jammer!

If you do a search, there will be a long exhaustive and still relevant thread about it that was just talked about a few weeks ago. I'm not aware of any new gizmos that's come out since. I can spoon feed you the link if that would help.

V1 and Blinder

I have a custom installed Passport 9500ci with laser jammer in my Mercedes and a Passport Max in the 996. I used a Valentine One in a previous car and got rid of it in favour of the Passport 9500ix because while the arrows on the V1 were nice, it kept alarming on everything which meant that I would ignore it. I like the GPS learning of the Passport. I may do the custom install in the 996 in order to do the laser jammer.

V1

Escort 9500i (?) works fine, not with instant on, or radar/lidar.

Escort 9500ix...has paid for itself three times over after 2 summers

now why on earth would you do that https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...your-vote.html what I currently use:

I ran the Passport 8500 for years without a ticket until finally purchasing the Escort Smartradar with iPhone app. I've run this setup for a year now, with good results. The detector still sits up high next to the mirror, but because it has no display lights, it is stealthy. The iPhone sits down at the radio level. I am kind of disappointed that the Live information doesn't work as well as Waze does, but the detector itself is VERY good at sniffing out Ka band. Theoretically I can run BOTH Waze up front and the Escort app will run in the background...but I think this causes a second or two of lag if the app is running in the background, so when I am really pushing the limit...I keep the Escort app up front at all times. Now I see that the V1 has an iPhone app...so if I had not already invested in the Smartradar...I would have probably gone with the Valentine 1. This is a lot of ramblings so hopefully I put some useful tidbits in here. I've been running radar detectors almost since I started driving at 16 back in the 80s and have only had 1 speeding ticket in 25 years of driving. That one was due to me being totally ignorant of the speed limit(I thought I was in a 75 and turns out I was in a 65)...and then not paying attention to the radar detector's warnings...and plus my truck at the time was running way taller tires than stock...so my speed was actually 5-6mph OVER what my speedo said....Ouch!

I've used V1's ( http://www.valentine1.com ) for about 10 years now and haven't had a ticket since I started using them. I love the arrows and the dual sensor system they use. However, even in advanced logic mode, they do give false alerts when I pass by buildings that use radar in their alarm systems. I wish they would come out with a model that could use GPS to exclude these.

K40, using it for a year now with good results

Escort Solo III - easiest to move between Porsche and bikes.

Beltronics..read up on it..you wont be disappointed.

Escort SRX hidden install. Detector is under the bumper cover with laser jammers front and rear.

Anyone want to make a small fortune...............invent a radar jammer which would fire back at the cop's radar gun. Might be fun to make it spark and smoke. Or more benign, send back a signal of only a tenth of what you were actually doing - or maybe 10 times what you were doing. However, I'm guess that the FCC would have a say in trying to make and sell what would likely be some sort of microwave transmitter.

Same setup on mine.

V1 ten years old. Have not had a ticket during this time. Every year I drive through central California from Orange County to Monterey for the historic races. I spend hours well over 100 and have hit 150 for over 10 miles in the Lost Hills area. And yes, I'm always searching the sky for low flying airplanes Paul

V1 for me as well. The arrows are worth the lack of GPS for me. You can weed out the false warnings after a few weeks of using it. i.e. you know the warnings and count in various areas of your commute. Plus, you can see the bands which is a dead giveaway as you learn what the various police forces in your area use.

Beltronics here also. I've been very happy.

Escort Passport Solo S3 -- battery operated -- paid for itself already.
