This is subjective, and will vary depending on individual preferences. The best radar detector for one person might not be the best radar detector for another person. For example, some people want the most advance warning possible, no matter what. Others are annoyed by the additional false alerts of more sensitive units, so they are willing to trade some performance for less false alerts.

There are some decent detectors under $200, the new Cobra XRS-9730 is a great value. Until the new Cobra models were released only the Beltronics RX65 supported the new KU Band that is currently used in Europe and is coming to the US shortly. For $129.95 this detector has very good range and it supports all the current technology including the new KU Band. See similar questions...

No. The best advice I can give you is to slow down. Over the past thirty years I have accumulated much empirical evidence that shows that you won't get there any faster - trust me, I've tried it. And I've frightened myself to death a couple of times. See similar questions...

The center of the back seat is the safest place for a car seat because it is farthest away from crash impact points. If the car seat does not fit in the center-rear, then one of the outboard seating positions should be used. See similar questions...

Shopping for a radar detector can be confusing, as there are a lot of different units available with different features. Really, it all depends on what you want out of a detector.

We highly recommend that you consider taking the trains in Italy whenever possible. However, if you do plan to drive to Rome and drop off a rental car, most of the major agencies have drop off locations near us, just off the via della Giuliana. The same is true for car pick-ups. It is not necessary to pick up your car at the airport or train station, both of which are less convenient. Please feel free to ask us for the nearest drop off/pick-up location for the agency you will be using. See similar questions...

Place smoke detectors in the corridors leading into bedrooms. Mount the detector in the middle of the ceiling or twelve inches down from the ceiling if mounted on a wall. If you live in a two-story home, place the detector at the top of the stairwell. Never place the detector close to a kitchen or bathroom. If possible, place a smoke detector on every level of the home. See similar questions...

Radar helps you see what's around you. An antenna mounted high above your boat (often on the mast of a sailing vessel) sends radar waves down towards the ground, hoping to pick up reflections of land or other boats below. It's not foolproof - it can often pick up images of waves instead of real objects - but it definitely helps you see what's around you, especially in conditions of poor visibility.

There are two places that you can tap into power- Either the universal transmitter power in the roof center console or the cell phone power. Below is an example of one of each. See similar questions...

A VASCAR stands for Visual Average Speed Computer And Recorder and is a timing device that times your vehicle from one predetermined point to another. It is like a stop watch and puts out no signal. No radar detector can warn you of VASCAR. VASCAR is commonly used in Pennsylvania as local law enforcement departments can not use radar guns by state law. A Radar travels at the speed of light which is 186,000 miles per second. See similar questions...

Long range radar detection. Simply put, a detector really has only one single mission: to provide enough advanced warning of radar and laser signals to allow you to check your speed and react appropriately. Long range detection relates directly to sensitivity: the greater the detection range, the more protection a detector delivers. Detecting X and K band radar at long range is easy compared to Ka band radar, and most detectors today do it reasonably well. But here's the problem. See similar questions...

In our opinion we feel that a corded radar detector will offer you the best protection. One of the biggest problems with a cordless radar detector is that in order to conserve battery power these units power on and off constantly. Because of this cordless radar detectors have less range and they also do not offer protection from POP radar. See similar questions...

The range of a radar detector is depending upon quality of 500m-200m. Such surroundings as curves, dome-shaped mountain tops, bridges etc. can slightly affect here. See similar questions...

There are many reasons why your radar detector may not have detected the radar. One simple reason is that your device is not set up to detect the specific band or type of device the officer was using. For example, a radar detector will not tell you if the officer is using a stopwatch or LIDAR to check you speed. See similar questions...
