Default Good deal on a radar detector

Anyone got anywhere you can get a good deal on a decent radar detector.

I had like 3 near misses and 1 oh shit he is coming after me, but got lucky another faster speeder went by and got him instead moments coming home from work today. This is an increasing trend because the cops are hurting for money around here. I been meaning to get one for awhile, but haven't bothered to look.

Pretty much. They're more like "you're about to get a ticket" detectors these days.

But they're still great for detecting automatic doors and other technologies that make them go off at all the wrong times.

No dude, the above is correct. I have had them all.

They are all worthless except the Valentine. It's not about price/quality, or price/features, and you can't get it in any another unit - it has to do with interpreting the signals these things make. The "User Interface", if you will.

Only the Valentine One is NOT "the boy who cried wolf" and therefore it is the ONLY one worth purchasing. If you're not gonna spend the money on the Valentine, save it to pay tickets with.
