Radar detectors

[QUOTE=Kaminari Kuro;2833164]Thanks for this thread HEK.

I've been considering a radar detector, but I live in city, and the the air is busy with radio frequencies and wireless signals. The last radar detector I had (An Escort long ago) would give a false positive and go off at least once a minute no matter what the settings. How is the current generation of radar detectors? Do they work well at catching police radar and only police radar far enough in advance for you to react? QUOTE]

Only speaking of the Escort 9500ix. It has a proprietary GPS built in, and if it encounters the same signal at the same location three different times, it decides that it is a false signal and won't alarm on that signal again. It also has an upgradable database of red light camera locations that it will alert you to.
