Get a beltronics but spend about $50 more or so. I had the 965 and loved it

Yeah those people dont work for bel or anything. Every test is saying the bel is better and they reerence a lot of stuff to them. You need to find an unbiast site. I have had tons of radar detectors, including a bel. They all SUCKED but 2. The Escort 8500 X50 and my current Valentine 1. Those are the only 2 I would ever use again. They worked better than any RMR, Cobra, or Bel.

V1 !!!!!!!! - save for it and get it, you can send it back in for a new one whenever they updgrade the software, it payed for itself within a week when i got it.
