I will have to check them out & see what other stuff they have.

Got me a passport 8500 X50 through a guy on Trade Me, awesome! $585

Coming down from Wellsford other day it went off, thought there must be a mufti car in line coming toward me then patrol car came round bend!

I was heading home the other day, feeling a bit under the weather. Could have been alcohol related but not sure as I am no doctor. Anyway, I was driving a sportsy cage and only doing 100 ks. Yep, I said I was a bit under the weather. Headed north, up through National Park (more cops on the Desert Road). I came round a corner onto a lovely straight, just as an on on-coming car did exactly the same at the other end of said straight. As we drew closer together, my 8500 Escort detector went ballistic. Only the 2 of us on this road. You will probably want to know that it was a brighter blue Falcon. If I had been speeding, I would have probably been able to "loose" some ks but it may have still been not enough to avoid a ticket.
So the moral of the story is if you don't have a hangover, look out for blue cars in the National Park area.
Good Luck out there.

I had a Bel...(had) wrked bloody well saved me a heap of times well worth the money, cant compare to anything else as it was all i had. just make sure after you wash your bike and put it back on its fastned properly that is why i had and dont still have...dam thing flew off at the first intersection i wheelied away from expensive wheelie that one better than getting caught tho

I have had a Bel 980 for three yeras and while it is half the price of a Valentine
it has about 90% of the capability. A great unit, it has saved me plemty of times, but like any radar detector they are pactically useless aginst instant on and laser. and laser is my latest interest ( A jammer is a must to work against laser guns....BUT )
It may be of interest to you all that I am in the middle of a court case aginst a false laser reading, and from that incident we may have a devised a product that can be manufactured to produce "false" laser readings, and the device could not be considered to interfere with the equipment as outlined in a post above. This all came about because the "thing" concerned ,( and I am being deliberately vague here due to the commercial sensitivity,) produced a genuinely erronious laser reading on my ute...It pisses one off the be booked for doing 80kph in a 50 kph area when one was not going any more than 55-60k....
As we all know, laser takes its reading from the fastest moving object -ie metal, in its beam ...hence if a device is mfr'd to "travel" at say 150kph , and it provides that reading to the gun, and can be explained away, there will be a sound defence against the laser providing a true reading.
Some further testing is required, but I will advise if we have a viable way of negating laser readings in some circumstances....

A VTR100 can't go that fast anyway, what do you need all that fancy shit for?

Why don't you just plaster the front of your bike / car with old CD's like the boy racers do? That screws up the laser doesn't it?

Oh Cool, which one tho, I have so many.Country music would ruin it best? This is the best advice i have read so far.
