Cobra XRS-9630 12-Band Radar/Laser DetectorUser Review: - radar detector working just fineI got my xrs-9630 several weeks ago,and put it to the test right away. Setting the compass was no problem. one quick 360 in my cul de sac and it continues to work great. The major test of radar found me on that super racetrack, know as I-75, especailly south fo the city. I ENCOUNTERED ALL the radar traps ,known and some unknown.Of course I stayed within the posted speed limit, most of the time.(try doing the proper speed limit on on most Ga. interstates, may get you killed) The local & county police were pulling people over, but I had the advantage with thexrs-9630. Sure I get occasional false alarms in city/local driving, but I have learned to mentally note them and when new alarms pop up, heed the warning. User Review:  - average I got this product after a speeding ticket. I goes off too much in the city , so I only slow when the level go's above 1 . You will be alerted to Laser, but really have no chance to slow in time. Overall it is better for highway use. Too many things use radar these days and its hard to get something that will detect just the fuzz . Its worth every penny though . Go for it . If only they made a breathalizer/radar detector combo. The pigs wouldn't get any of my money . User Review:  - Definitely worth itThe only downside to this radar detector is to set the compass. You will need a retail store parking lot (empty) to drive in circles (3 times) to set the compass. After that the radar detector is such a beauty. It will detect all the bands specified in the description, I know it for a fact. It will detect a speed radars about a mile and a half away in any direction. In open highway it will go as far as 2 1/2 miles. This product has definitly saved me from several tickets. User Review: - Works great on all bands - already saved me a dozen timesI highly recommend this unit. For the price you get full 360 detection in all bands. The range is amazing. The best thing about this unit is its detection of KA, KU, bands on the oncoming traffic from staters and county sherrifs. You get one bar of signal and slow down and then it gets stronger for a while before you even see the cop. Absolutely pays for itself in the first week if you have a long commute. also picks up the POP signal from the moto cops and saves you by a good 15 seconds before you even see them. Don't waste your money on the fancier units with advanced displays and voice responses, totally not needed and most sacrifice the laser detection to give you the bells and whistles. This is the maximum functional unit for the money w/o any extra junk that you don't need. 4 out of 5 just because it is a window mount unit, not a under hood unit with extra sensors. Also only had it about a month so the longevity is yet to be tested. Another couple of months and this thing is a 5. User Review: - Super detector, moderately priced - a good valueOverall I am quite happy with the detector. I like the settable features; specifically the automatic volume adjustment which reduces the volume after 4 seconds (providing you have that feature activated). It's easy to set the settable featues. I also like the compass feature. |
