Offline | Detectors, jammers, scanners, etc. What do you use and how well does it work for you? I am planning on getting a Bel laser/radar jammer (lots of laser here), mount the LED display warning thing under my rwo of toggle switch and the sensor infront of the car just below the front number plate. |

Offline | I have a Bel Express930 it detects laser, radar and has some safety things that it is suppose to detect too although the safety thing hasnt worked yet... I am overall satisfied with this unit since i havent got a ticket yet! Ive heard from many that Bel is the best brand out there since Bel makes the cops radar systems! |

| MINI2 Master | I have the Bel 980 and have nothing but ecstatic things to say about it. In my experience, and as reflected by radartest.com and caranddriver, there are basically just 3 reliable detectors: the V1, Bel 980/985, and Escort 8500. The V1 is huge and very expensive. The escort is about 300. The bel has a retail price of 300 as well but can be found for much cheaper (220), and that's why I went with it. Lesser detectors (and I can confirm this even with the Bel 950) have way too many falses and you don't trust them, so you're wasting your money completely. I wired mine into the accessory and mounted it on the dash so it is always there. Disable X-band since no one uses that anymore and always causes falses. It hardly ever goes off, and when it does, it's always true--either a cop, or some other radar source that you can see and ignore (construction sign, supermarket doorway). I find it completely worth it. Jammers are really laser jammers (its illegal to jam radar, laser is just infrared light so you can do what you want). And don't expect any detector to give your forward warning of laser, if it detects it, the cop has already nabbed you. They usually pick up a reading from your plates. So the real only effective tool against laser is plate-mounted jammers/detectors. The only one I know of is an add-on to the escort and costs an additional $500. |

Offline | Amigos I have the Rocky Mountain Laser/radar Jammer and so far it has warned me in advance and maybe jammed a couple of lasers here in Florida. As a matter of fact last week a TROOPER smiled at me cause he had his radar on and and I guess I jammed him, it is expensive but well worth it. Go to www.technoscout.com and you will see the variants they have I bought the expensive one ![]() |
