Great detector for the money!

justinkk2005 from pikeville, ky

The thing I didnt find so great about the detector is it's range around curves although I've owned a Valentine 1, a passport 8500 x50, this detector is good for the money. However, I saw NO different in the x50 and this v955. The only difference is the features which the average person never uses anyway. Read more

Perfect for Under [$]

Jay the Tech from Ohio

Im not sure why other reviewers check the "Gives false reads" as a con, you have to be an idiot to think the radar detector is going to stop detecting radar when its not police radar. Its a RADAR DETECTOR, it detects radar, when theres a signal, it tells you, would you rather it NOT do that? IDIOTS! Detecting "falses" is a good thing, it means its working and doing its job, morons. Regardless, best detector Ive ever owned, great range, excellent sensitivity (again thats WHY IT FALSES!), and the ramp up is second to none. I live where all bands are used and have had multiple saves on all bands. Buy this detector if you want just pure performance without the extras that make the others so expensive. Fantastic product.

Perfect travel partner!

Vinnie from Columbia, SC

I travel over 40,000 Interstate highway miles a year. Though I don't try to be a speed demon, I push the edge (10 to 15 MPH over posted highway speed) to save some driving time. I had a Bel 965 prior to the Bel 995. It worked great, but it was stolen out of my vehicle. This 995 is just like the 965, except on steroids! I picked up a NC Highway Patrols KA band radar 4.5 miles before I ever saw him. The sensitivity to KA and K bands are unreal. It does a great job of weeding out X band false alarms. Out of curiosity, I left it turned on (but out of sight) while traveling through Virginia (where it's illegal). It picked up every state and county patrol radar I came across, without being detected by their RDD (radar detector detector). I'm assuming they were using VG and not the newest systems. I would not recommend normal use of this unit in Virginia, unless you are really on top of things. It does a great job in the city as well. It picks up every police radar blocks before I encounter t … Read more

Thoroughly Tested in South Texas

Dekhr from Houston, TX

This product was thoroughly tested in South Texas during the week of March 24, 2008. It did not disappoint in our testing of 800 miles. It is very quiet (eliminates false signals) and very quick, i.e. responds immediately to the real thing: radar/laser signals. Operation mode: AutoScan just turn it on and let it do the work. It remembers volume adjusting so you don't have to readjust each time you turn it on. Results: No surprises … tickets … and there were plenty being issued between McAllen and Laredo, TX and between Victoria and Houston. Read more
