None better. But pricey. IMO worth it.
They are using LASERs
If your detector goes off you are too late

Didn't make a sound....a LEO told me they now click it..and estimate your speed...
Don't speed.[;)]
The only universal, and my preferred, method of not getting speeding tickets.
Trust whatever gizmo you like. With the incredible proliferance of lidar over radar, the VAST majority of detectors are rendered worthless.
Speed if you want, but accept the consequences of you get caught. If that's too much risk for you, slow down. It is literally the only universal remedy to speeding tickets.
They need not leave that rig on and going like watering a yard with a hand held hose. [B)]
The radar detectors don't often help when they are doing aerial speed surveillance either! [:(]
I use these to avoid speeding tickets. They're all over the place!
And they're paid for by taxes that you already pay.
I find that if you stay within about 6 mph of the posted limit, cops won't even look at you. They don't start paying attention to your speed until you get closer to 10 over.

Radar laser guns just a snap shoot and its all over. No detector is stopping that.
Yes,but a jammer does
Radar Jammer is big time illegal. Get caught using one and you'll wish you hadn't. FCC gets upset if you go playing with radio waves.
Laser jamming is legal. No law against playing around with light. Not yet anyway.

Dad always got a chuckle when someone would cuss their "bird dog" for not whistle'n in time.
Its not the ticket,its how they tempt you to speed! The traps are set on hillls and other areas,that are declines and inclines....coasting,and excelleration up and down the hills,cause you to run over the speed limit....I was excellerating up a bridge when he blipped me...trying to move over to another lane...the city has been on notice about the traps...he was almost apologetic about the ticket...
You're in the South right? Should be plenty of idiots to use as a blocking car [:D]
I would do this for about 10 to 15 mins a day and get no less than a half dozen guys driving by flipping switches and pounding on their detectors thinking they were broken. Iam sure some of them sent them to the factory for repairs that were not necessary.

I used to get a hoot out of parking my motor one the side of the road out where I was very visible. I would leave the power "OFF" and point my speed gun down the highway at approaching traffic.

Thats cold [:D]
I flash my lights at crotch rockets when there is no PoPo's around [}:)]
Not all of us sport bike riders are doing much more over the speed limit than the rest of the traffic around us.
Got pulled.
Copper said "you didn't even make an effort to slow down after I pulled in after you"
It was mainly because I was snatchin my V1 off the dash mount so he wouldn't confiscate it. And I was pretty confident I was toast since he came off the median and I was in the left lane.
