Pros: A Top performer in detection; Clear Display; Clear Voice Cons: "Dim" too bright at night; Mounting can be a pain
Beltronics has produced a second rate performance, but first-rate value detector for many years. With the New 900 series second-rate detection is now near first rate.
Recently, Beltronics has been integrated into the Escort Company. A new...
Pros: Sensitivity, Sensitivity, and more Sensitivity. Nothing else matters in the radar game. Cons: Pricey (not that I care!), and false alarms caused by other radar detectors.
I recently retired from a major metropolitan police department, having served in the Traffic Division as a motorcycle sergeant and traffic lieutenant. After 28 years in law enforcement, especially in the radar vs. radar detector end of the business,...
Pros: Loaded with features, excellent range Cons: Too many false alarms, complex operation
I purchased a Bel 980 in November of 2000 based on the favorable reports I had seen on the internet and in magazines. I drive approximately 180 miles round trip to work and back and spend a lot of time exceeding the posted speed limits so a quality...
While I stand by my review that the BEL980 is a solid unit, I feel it is only right to note that I have replaced my BEL980 with a Valentine One detector. You can see my (shorter) review on that product as well here...
Pros: - Can disable separate bands.
- Great detection
- Good price compared to others Cons: - Even though Bel boasts its software upgradibility, there have been no upgrades issued/available!
I have had my Bel 980 since the start of the summer... just in time for all the traps to come out and start collecting money from the public.
Where I live, the majority of speed traps are photo radar vans, using K-band (24.125 GHz) to catch...
When I decided I wanted to buy a radar detector, I figured I should do some research first. I ran some searches on the Internet to locate the best radar detectors. There is really a lot of helpful and useful information out there once you get past all...
Pros: Outstanding design and sensitivity, great features. Cons: None really...highly recommended
I've been a Bel radar detector owner for over 10 years now. With each new model I've purchased I discovered improvement after improvement. My last model was the Bel 855sti. It was a great unit but it was a few years old and I wanted to be sure I had...
Pros: Runs with the best of the pack, at a fraction of the cost. Cons: Still has false alarms, and has a learning curve. Rear detection is weak.
I've had the Bel 980 since 2002, and previously owned many models of cheaper detectors (below $150). After years of false alarms and poor warning from the cheap detectors, I can comparatively say that the Bel 980 is far, far superior. The problem with ...
Pros: Exceptional Range, Strengh Indicator, Audio Level Cons: None -- This is built SOLID
Let me start off by saying that I have have reviewed almost every detector on the market. I visited Motor Trend's 2001 radar detector buying guide, speedzones.com, radartest.com among many others. Like almost everybody interested in owning a...
In a recent 120 mile trip, I can upon eight state troopers scattered about. The Bel 980 was superb in alerting me as I came up on them. The features of this unit are great. It has 7 driver selectable/programmable features that allow you to set it the...
Pros: digital voice is cool, easy navigation through menu options. Cons: Constant Ka false alarms, city all mode stinks, hard to attach to windshield.
Thought I did enough research on this detector to justify spending the money for it, but was way off on my expectations. I got it for $268 online and was pleased till I put it in my truck. The thing will false over anything, and not just the annoying...
Pros: Excellent Detection, Design, and Features Cons: False alarms in K & X bands.
If you are looking for a good radar detector for a medium budget, then you should check this one out. The first day I got it I tested it out and it worked like a champ. I haven't had any other radar detectors, but to me, from all the reviews I read,...
Pros: Sensitivity, False Alarm avoidance, upgradability, solid build, quick release Cons: Very few nitpickings, not worth mentioning - OK - suction cups could be improved.
I have had a natural aversion to Bel radar detectors as I had a very unfortunate experience with the Bel 7 series detector - the thing just would not shut-up. Though it did save often from the cops in the radar detector banned land - Ontario, Canada. ...
Pros: Excellent sensitivity, Voice alert, Filter options. Cons: False alarms, False alarms and more False alarms.
I recently purchased a Bel 980, Escort 8500, and V1. The detectors where put through their paces and subjected to a few batteries of test that I feel are important to me.
The first test was K-band (HR-12) test. In this test I drove the test...
