I was looking at the cobra spx 7700, is it a good radar? What else is out there that is a good radar? Id be mainly be using it in the city.

 

Cobras are getting better, but they still spill false K-band and set off the good detectors. I wouldn't buy one.

Look into getting a V1 or a Escort/Beltronics/Whistler.

 

I would recommend the Escort brand.
I personally have an Escort Passport Max in my car, but I ran the Passport 9500IX for the longest time. The Max is the replacement for the 9500IX but by no means is the 9500IX outdated, it performs exceptionally well and with the built in GPS it actually learns where a false alarm is and removes it so it never gives you a false reading again.
I still have the 9500IX actually its just in my GFs car now since I run the Max. If you can afford the Max buy it its worth every penny, but if your a little strapped for cash go for the 9500IX

 

My cobra isnt too bad. It displays ka for cops and something else for pharmacys and stuff. Hasnt let me down so far

 

Yah idk if i wanna spend 500$ on a radar ah, id only wanna spend around 300$, have you heard much about the beltronics pro 300?

 

Holy **** lol. Id never think of spending that much on a radar. I think mine was like $100

 

What did you get? Lol

 

Its an older style cobra i bought a few years back at best buy

 

When I was a pizza guy, my radar detector prevented me getting 12 speeding tickets in one year that I was aware of, which means I actually saw an officer with a radar. How many can you imagine that I didn't see, but slowed down anyway? Do you know how much money 12 speeding tickets would be? About $2000-2500 in the place I was at.


$300 is nothing when you save $2000 on tickets.

 

Yah i got 5 tickets in a month... Not fun lmao, kind of why im wantingg a radar lol

 

Yea but $100 is even less and i have never gotten a ticket. This thing has saved me a number of times so im satisfied with it

 

I have the Escort 9500CI installed on my car lol. It's amazing.

 

I think the best way not to get a speeding ticket is not to speed

 

But thats just no fun 💁

 

5 over plus cruise control. Not one speeding ticket in 13 years.

 

Take what you just said and replace "speeding ticket" with "tip"

I got a ticket for 57 in a 55 in a **** town in Texas. I don't even do 5 over anymore.

 

You probably should have written a letter to get that reduced.

I wouldn't stand for that. 1% calibration error and it's a false reading.

 

It's not the best as far as performance but better than any Cobra or what ever brand you can buy at Walmart or Best Buy. We actually carry them in my store and they sell pretty well. The customers I've talked to all seem to like them except for the false alarms, that is why i recommended the 9500 or Max because they eliminate them. If your going to spend the money get the Pro 300 don't buy anything to cheap, remember you get what you pay for.

 

I shouldn't have but whatever. That was in my Nova. I could easily get out of that ticket with my G5.

 

Alright thanx for the help!

 

I also have the 9500IX radar and I highly recommend it!

I was late going to work one morning, going 85 in 65, and because the radar emits distinct beeps for varies bands, I was aware of a copy hiding under a bridge, probably a little over a mile down the road.
