Default found a radar dectector how good is it?

I was cleaning out my uncles garage and came upon a Uniden Stalker radar detector model: LRD 9000W he said I could have it for free.

Has anyone used this type before? How good is it?

thanks

All I can say is:

Delete radar detector = no more tickets. When I get pulled over I usually just apologize and hope for the best, and it usually works. All detectors do is **** off the police when you get pulled over.

Cool

You can't go wrong with the name like Uniden, especially when it was for free.
