Radar Detector

[West]

Hi all

I'm chasing a RADAR DETECTOR, where can i get them? (prefer in Vic somewhere)

Also which one is the best to use, one that is not too complicate!

Do i get in any trouble if i bring it out of the country as i'm buying one for oversea use only.

Thanks

I own a bell something, paid a decent price as well. It now lives in a draw in my garage waiting fro me to decide wheather to reinstall it. I dont know; i think these things are like weight benches...you get all enthusiastic about the purchase and when you get them you use them for a while then they end up as an expensive dust collector. I found that even on "country" mode i still got a lot of false alarms. I prefer to scan the road side, remember the hot spots, watch the traffic and just be a bit more selective in when i stretch the GT-Rs legs. Still...its you cash

Buy one local...not sure about OS radar frequencies. Best check with legallity of owning one and where to place it on your car, each state is different

most states they are illegal, and the fine can be big. deffinately check legallity in your state first.

Yeah i've heard a lot about those BELLS one, i even heard of one that work with just plug in your cigi socket.

The oversea frequencies, i have no idea but its not my $$ either , its for a mate oversea.

Thanks

Mine is wired and a telephone socket connects the unit to power. Nice unit but as I said....

I dunno about other state but here in SA they are mainly using Laser now and Laser detectors are ina whole different leauge....

If anyone can reccommend a decent one to me that would be awesome!

Is it more advance or stone age sort of thing?

I had a Bell 900i when I lived in Perth. Radar detectors are legal over there and are great to have. Most places in WA stock them and you can buy them legally as well.

Over the years ive seen a few of em work and the old stuff is shit and gave a lot of false readings.

Id say anything new these days would work perfectly. They cost anywhere from 700 to 1000 dollars.

Ohh and Laser - yes radar detectors have ALWAYS picked up laser so I dont know what ur on about.

as per PM i sent, mine is sitting gathering dust too..

if anyone happened to PM me who wanted it i would certainly let it go for the right price

[MADGT4]

From what i had read Radar Dectectors do not pick up Laser.

Like saying a device meant to pick up the colour blue and only blue can also pick up the colour red.

v1 is best

i had a bell 900 gave me 3 years of good service before costing me 1k in fines and confiscation

good time

probably saved me 30k though

uniden brand they are on special awhile ago for $190 reduced from 300 and something.

if you want to sus some out check out american ebay, www.ebay.com they have alot to chose from so it is a good place to compare brands
