Bought as a gift for my dad.....
January 6, 2009
Bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad. I selected it as a high-quality brand but without too many bells and whistles that my dad doesn't need. Pricing was good compared to others. I can't speak too much to its functionality since I'm not the user.
Jury is still out

Overall the unit works OK. There are too many false alerts though. I have a had a few instances when the laser indicator has occurred without ever finding a source.
Well worth the cost

I have onwned several detectors over the years but refused to pay what I considered an arm and a leg . This model has proved to be worth the cost. On highway it would pick up radar at a much greater distance. Fewer false alarms. and the ability to ID the diffirent bands are very helpfull. The only down side is it's sieze and bulk.
Great Radar for the DFW Area
December 12, 2008
I purchased this radar because my previous radar was fairly outdated. I am not a speed demon per se, but like to have the detector as an added safeguard for my road trips within Texas. If anything, during long road trips its a quick snap back to reality to be mindful of limit, especially in the small towns. I've had this for about 6 months or so and it seems to do the job. Gives a pretty fair amount of warning and in some cases while doing city driving, the range is pretty amazing. I think the detector is certainly worth the money. Very loud and there are various settings in terms of brightness. I do have a tiny amount of trouble mounting the detector in certain vehicles (SUVs mainly), but that could just be user error. All in all, I recommend this detector but would also recommended shopping for the best price.
Very Pleased

Very pleased with this product. This is the second Beltronics I have purchased and like the first is a good value and I am happy with it. One thing you should be aware of is that it needs it's own power supply from the vehicle. Putting it on a splitter i.e. with another device (GPS, mp3 player, etc.) will cause it to give a service required warning. I learned this from Beltronics customer service department.
