Radar Helped Needed...

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Well I really need a radar, I was thinking on a Valentine V1 but I don't want to spend $400. While I was at work I realized we had some very good competitors, and the discount was CRAZY. Right now im leaning towards the 9300i becasue of the reviews on the site. But do guys have any of these or recommended any below.

Escort owns Beltronics now.

Like I PM'd the OP about, DO NOT buy a Cobra radar detector. I've owned several RD's in my life and the only one I've had that works in a Beltronics Vector 995. The Escort Passport 8500 X50 is ALSO A VERY GOOD RD.

yea we dont carry beltronics.. Either 9500i or the X50 ill see if they got a radar forum. But thanks

[WarmAndSCSI]

Only the 9500i if you want the GPS functionality. It's really quite cool, actually. Both detectors do a good job of reporting and filtering with EXCELLENT range.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

heres a review from a user, i think for my driving style the X50 will be the best. Man you got to love the internet

I dunno $300 is what I paid for my Beltronics Vector 995, I'd just get the 9500i. I've heard good things.

Check out http://www.radarbusters.com and see if he has a review yet.

Never mind, found it for you: http://www.radarbusters.com/images/pdf2/ESO003.pdf.

Thanks alot man, man for $84 extra i might as well get the 9500i, worse comes i can sell it on ebay for 375-400

[IceDouTGaLanT]

well i got the 9500i, i picked up a KA band soon as i left bestbuy, got on the ramp and their he was chilling..Cant wait to play with all the crap inside this weekend..

beltronics or escort and you can't go wrong... Check out radar roy or radarbusters i think it is and they do real life testing on them and tell you how long it takes to respond. And its not all just straight on they do over the hill testing and also curves. They also test them against radar detector detectors. I think one of the best rated right now is the Bel STI

i really recommend you this one especially The Professional Series RX65 model, its the Ultimate Radar, Laser, and Safety Detector running for like $329 plus shipping at their website! www.beltronics.com like Divinity Said!

[GOOSEY2099]

you get what you pay for. V1 FTW!!

[WarmAndSCSI]

V1 has little or no filtering ability. Screw it, it's not even worth using on a day-to-day basis. Other RDs have similar if not better range. The V1 is not the "holy grail" of radar detectors. Silly fanbois. :D
