my friend let me borrow his cobra and it goes off all the time when there are no cops and it doesn't always go off when there are cops, but then thats probably the same with any detector, also i heard the new radar locks on instantly so by the time you hear the warning they already got your speed

I have a cobra.. It is good, but sometimes won't go off.. not sure if the cop is using some sort of new laser or blah I don't know.. some don't always have it on till they see someone fast then they'll turn it on

i have a whistler. it detects radar like any other. and it only cost me $30.
a radar detector doesn't give you licence to speed. cops can pull you over for careless/wreckless or any other violation, plus they can sit in a trap and flick it on when you pass, and it's too late. i use it to keep myself alert of my speed. i know the places it always goes off and at what strength the signal is, and if it starts to go off where it shouldn't i know there might be a cop somewhere.
