What's the Best Detector?
Folks...I'm sure this quesotin has been asked numerous times, but I haven't been able to find any existing threads....so here goes....what's the consensus on the best detector for a C6? Valentine & Passport seem to be the top two, but I'd like to hear real world experience. I'm in NJ....lots of local microwave interference & lots of curves, dips & hollos on the freeways & local roads for the troopers to hide.

Probably one of the three most asked questions with many threads. It always creates debate between the brands. All are about the same with only minor differences such as arrows, voice and style. None will protect you 100 %. Buy what you like and take your chances or drive the speed limit.

I use the new whistler Pro 73, It has 360 degree protection in all bands & laser. It lights up in blue digital & looks cool at night.
It also has a human voice that warns you so you keep your eyes outside the cockpit.

on someone else in front of you, the V-1 will pick it up and warn you. 400.00 is what they cost. Everything else is crap

But if the cop pulls the trigger of his lazer gun
on someone else in front of you, the V-1 will pick it up and warn you.

Not true at all. The projected beam is very tight. There is no scatter but if you want to believe that just bring it on at speed.

It is a daily driver, but I don't turn the volume all the way up.
