Cheap Radar Detectors Online

Posts Tagged ‘cobra’

I love to drive, and I love to drive fast.
I currently have a Whistler XTR 220 that was given to me by someone I dated. After only recently putting it back up in my car I realized that it was missing the remote control that originally came with it. It still works but it’s hard to reach on my window. So I have been considering looking at other ones. I did some looking online and apparently the brands such as Whistler, Cobra, etc. are really no comparison to the detectors made by brands such as Escort, Valentine, & Beltronics. After reading recommendations about the Escort Passport 8500 X50 I looked at it and was curious:
Does anyone actually own this radar detector?
What about the Valentine V1 or the Beltronics RX-65 Pro. If so, what can you tell me concerning the pros and cons of them? Were they worth the money?

Serious answers only, please. And do not waste my time about how I need to slow down.

I’m thinking of buying my dad a radar detector from a local Best Buy, Fry’s electronics, etc… My budget is around 0 and I don’t want to order online since Dad’s bday is this weekend — Can you give me any advice on which one to get?? I’ve got 3 I found that seem good, but i woudl love some opinions since I’ve nvr had one of these b4…
1. Whistler XTR-330 (about )
2. Cobra’s XRS-9330 (~0)
3. Whistler XTR-520 (~0)

besides these, can u come up with any?? Thanks for the help!!
in response to one of the guy’s "answer" – Radars are illegal in Virginia & DC… I live in Indiana and we rarely travel to VA/DC . And one more thing – I live in the indianapolis, in area, so if that helps w/ the stores i could go look around it or somewhere you can suggest – that would be great

Okay well i’m looking into getting a police radar detector, I want to spend under a hundred bucks, I know a lot of people say that radar detectors do no work if they are cheap and I know the best kind is valantin but I do not have the money to buy that and I know some people say all radar detectors work the same just cost different prices. I found a whistler and a cobra at radio shack I was looking at, I have been getting mixed reviews on them, I live in a suburb north of chicago and my friends escort passport goes off a lot around stores and he spent 140 on his used from a friend.

SO what is the best radar detector for under a hundred dollars?? And is whistler or cobra any good??

Thanks for reading!

I’ve heard about Valentine and Escort…I’ve owned a cobra that you can buy at any Wal-Mart but it really didn’t work as well as i thought. Anyone know what is the best radar detector out in the market today? One that is pretty accurate and wont go off from microwaves or radio towers? Any help us appreciated.

im thinking of buying a radar / laser detector, but im not really sure what i want. im thinking of getting the Valentine One, which detects friggin everything, is the best on the line, and has been reccomended to me by several people. unfortunately, i dont happen to have 0 laying around. i need something that will detect stuff good, along with LADAR, because the last and first time i got pulled, they used a laser, so i guess they are becoming more popular. what is the next best thing to buy? i kinda need to keep it under 0
my best choices seem to be, but not limited to:
whistler
cobra
escort
and beltronics. these are the most readily avaliable, but what i need to know is – what radar or laser systems are used the most often by police? is there a standard? what should i look for?
thanks for your advice, feel free to email me, and keep the answers RELEVANT – no smartass remarks, please

I am new to detectors, but I want an entry-level detector. Which one is better, the Whistler XTR-140 or the Cobra XR-1050? Thanks alot!

I never had one of these before i see this one for sale all the time out by me for a good price. To see a picture goto (Ebay and type 270058417991). Thats the item number. I like this one because it comes with a remote but is it any good? Also whats better Whistler or Cobra?
