I bought this radar detector 6 months ago and paid itself off many times. It is very sensitive, accurate, and fun to use. It senses police radars much sooner then the other models that I have used. This model has so many features that you will love. Diplay and voice is very clear, signal strenght meter is accurate. This detector will not disappoint you.
