Bel RX65, Radar Detector, M27 Laser Jammer

Here is why the 9500ci radar detector is one of the best hidden radar detector and laser jammer systems in the world:

1) One front RADAR antenna to increase signal sensitivity while minimizing false alerts;

2) 100% invisible to all Radar Detector Detectors - VG2, VG4, Spectre III, Spectre iv, Spectre iv+;

3) Radar Detection of Ka police r

Is that the old V1 feed horn or the new V1 feed horn? There was a change way back where they changed all of that, even the case.

Well, IF I get pulled over for speed(it's been decades, knock wood -- that must be a testament to something or other...) I'm not going to worry about it. It's really none of the cop's business what radio frequencies I choose to monitor, even if I am monitoring his own two-way(though if I were doing THAT I think I would try to be a little more low-key about it).

I would of course be polite and cooperative, saying as little as possible, but if the cop in any way indicated that he was treating me differently because of the RD I would use that against him in court. When testimony is heard, it is a Very Bad Thing for a cop to have indicated that he was doing anything other than observing and writing you up based on observation of your actions during the infraction(unless of course he sees some "probable cause" like open containers, etc.) This in addition to whatever I can do to show that the limit is illegally set, illegally enforced, that the cop did not follow procedure(VERY common), etc. This is one reason it's a good idea to record your conversation with the cop.

There are times when having a detector can be a benefit, for example if the cop says he got you on radar but you know full well he did not use it. Very common for a cop to just get a high reading then lock it in to write as many tickets as he wants. Sometimes they are dumb enough to write the same "measured" speed on a sequence of tickets, so it's worth subpoenaing a few of the tickets he wrote before and after yours to check on that, especially if you know he did not use the radar on you.

Anyway, the goal is to not get stopped in the first place, failing that the goal is to get the ticket dismissed, as far as I'm concerned he can write whatever he wants on the paper -- nothing I can say or do is likely to change that anyway.

We were not talking about the V1, we were talking about the SR-1 which was based on the feed horn from the 7500 series, or so I have been told.

BTW, other than being very chatty, you will never hear me say that the V1 is not a good detector, it is just not for me.

In my mind, all one really need is common sense observations/situation awareness, good radar technology and Laser Jamming… that’s 90+% of the battle.

Everything else is icing on the cake including GPS based filtering/anti falsing, directional arrows & bogey counts, stealth, remote, multi color displays, yadda, yadda, yadda. Sure in states or countries were detectors aren’t allowed, stealth would be a much higher priority.

Last time I was in a vehicle that got pulled over, my V-1 was in clear display. LEO stated something like that radar detector didn’t do you much good now did it? I saw the guy long before be turned on his gun and told my brother to slow down quickly. He scrubbed from 100 down to around 80 before the Christmas tree lit up… that’s situational awareness.

LEO turned his light on and we didn’t everything by the boo. We were polite, answered questions without incriminating ourselves, and casual conversation like where we were going and how it was my car and my brother was visiting from out of town.

In the end, my brother received a warning for 75 in a 60 after checking my registration and his license. LEO said he could have written me a citation for not signing my registration. Then he spit, scratched his crotch and walked off with that corn cob waddle.

Good thing he wasn’t a few mile earlier or it would/could have been 120 plus.

Oh, thanks for the clarification, and nevermind.

Understood, I am trying to make a point of not being one side of an argument... just trying to have a friendly conversation.

SharkSkin

BTW & FWIW I just had a save on 580 last Friday. I was just breaking clear of a pack(maybe 1/8 mi. ahead) when I got the laser hit and saw the CHP just a fraction later. Dropped anchor and dodged a bullet. A number comes to mind that may or may not be relevant here... the number is 95....

Oaul thanks for your kind welcome Greg, I googled all those terms and found noithing. What I have is almost 11 years of incident-free service from my SR-1, and I have to tell you this is the first I have heard of "feed horn issues". Do you have some links for us to look at?

heinrich

Exactly why I just nod and smile when so many experts will tell with so much conviction, that laser is impossible to escape once you know it's aimed at you. That number Dave, has been lasered and escaped before

Got meself one of thos 9500xi's. Yessir. Someone posted a special discount from amazon the other day and I took advantage of it. Got it for $399.00 shipped. I figure I can run it next to the V1 for a few weeks and sell the one I don't like.

Let the games begin.

A quick search turned up many complaints about the KA detection of the SR1.

It is how many years old, and you come out and say it is the best there is.

Go here and ask the real experts what they think about your self proclaimed "Best Detector"

http://www.radardetector.net/forums/


It does not take much of a search to find bad reviews of the Sr1

"Not for the lead footed driver. Save for a better Detector."
"The Escort SRX is the new remote detector that Escort is offering to solve the Ka deficiency and improved X and K performance."

That one is from 2002, time marches on, and the time for that detector was long ago.

BTW, just because you have not heard of any issues does not make it any less real.

I fully expect what I think is top of the line right now, the 9500Ci to be just ok in two years, a old detector like the SR1 is way past its prime.

I beat laser every time I get shot with it.

9500ci is $$$$ - one must be doing LOTS of fast driving to justify buying this piece of equipment.

IMO, the best radar detector is you yourself and it's free I'm not going to say I always stay true to the posted speed limit, but I would rarely go 10-15mph above posted limit. If I really want to go faster, I can go to a PCA track event and go wild there - safer for everyone, including me...

blown 87

It only takes one or two tickets to justify a good detector, my last one cost me almost a grand, not counting the increase in my insurance.

I was running a V1 at the time BTW.

Put your car on a trailer and pull it to the track with a Surburban. Safer still.

Or maybe don't drive. Safest!



The fact is that speed limits in the country are set arbitraily, and are set to the lowest common denominator - The Geo Metro. They basically get a high school kid to drive a stretch of road as fast as he can in his 15 year old Geo Metro. If he survives without a crash, that's the speed limit.

It's rediculous.

The vast majority of police issuing speeding tickets are not doing it for "safety's sake." Instead it is a thinly veiled revenue generator. Same for red-light cameras, and speed-cameras. The municipalities say it's for safety, but it's not. It purely a revenue generator. The cities don't even have to pay for them. THey contract with a company for x-months to install them at a certain location and the city gets a check ever month. How is that in the interest of safety?

Because of this increased police-state type environment disguised as a means to to protect us, I choose to run a radar detector and laser jammer to avoid paying these unlevied taxes.
