You claim that it's too easy to drive too fast. Therefore, you're looking for a radar detector. I would suggest that for about the same price as a good radar detector, you can get cruise control! It will tend to keep you from unconsciously speeding... another way to avoid tickets, and legal in all states. Or was it your intention to use the miracle of electronics for the purpose of intentionally breaking the law by helping you avoid detection? -Dave Levenson -ABI Holmdel

I am considering buying a radar detector and would like to find one that is effective, inconspicous, and permenently installed. I have noticed that most of the literature I have seen talks about dashboard/ visor type mounting. I have also heard that the escort is supposed to be a very good one, but I would like something that didn't have to be mounted above the dash. I would also appreciate the indulgence of someone to supply information about how police radar is used; What's the significance of super-hetrodyne, x and k band, etc. ?

I am thinking about buying a radar detector, possibly an Escort. I'd appreciate any comments or recommendations on this subject. I know Consumer Reports has covered this but I'd like to get some opinions from the radar detector owners on the net.

Do you remember which issue of consumer reports covered radar detectors?
I'm considering buying one.

I don't read this newsgroup that often, so if this topic has been discussed before, I'm sorry. Also if it was and anyone has the old articles please forward to me. thanks. I used a Passport for about 3 months and I loved it. It was my friend's and I had to give it back. Now I want to buy one and I want to know if they are any that are as good as the passport but not as expensive. I really don't want to shell out $295 if i don't have to. Has anyone ever heard of the GUL and is it any good? It's the same size as the Passport and claims to be better (of course), but it's only $149. Any info anybody has I would aprreciate. please respond my e-mail. thanks Lynn ihnp4!houxa!lmv
