I went with the bell 995 since I couldn't justify the price of a v1 or 8500. I had a bell 985 (995s predecessor) for 5 years previously and loved it.
The 995 doesn't seem as good as the 985, however I believe that part of it is cops learning to use the guns properly (not leaving them on the whole time). However, there are times where the K or Ka band seems to alert me way too late. If a cop is on the side of the road with a car pulled over and K or Ka left on, my 985 would alert me from a LONG ways off, now it does sometimes, but not others. Also, the stationary radars on the side of the road that display your speed, I get warned about them at a closer distance than the 985. I believe this may be because bell attempted to reduce false alerts but increasing the alert threshold because once I'm alerted, it locks onto the signal and alerts me for 1/2 mile past the things usually. I'd honestly prefer a few more false alerts if it means I'm less likely to get a surprise. With that said, its the best for it's price range. |

I've had mine for 3 years and it never caused me a single ticket even after being pulled over and the cop asking me about the device... ![]()

I just bought the Whistler XTR-695 (literally 2 minutes ago) to use only during my long distance drivings so that'll be only when I mount it. Amazon has it today for $99.99 with free shipping versus the list price of $249.95 so that was another good incentive. Here's the item: Amazon.com: Whistler XTR-695 Laser/Radar Detector with Radar Signature ID, Laser Signature ID, 7-Color Display, Real Voice Alerts and External Audio Jack: Electronics.

This is not entirely true. While radar detectors are not legal for the general public there is a way around this feature. Since a radar detector does not operate on a bandwidth which is protected there is a way to be "licensed" to use the bandwidth in which the detector operates. Any HAM radio operator has a license to operate devices in this band which just happens to include radar detectors. A state can not dictate your bandwidth use while using a federal license to use said bandwidth. But that is if you really care about using a detector in VA.

I have a V1 for my RSX-S and another for my family's MDX. Got my sister a Passport 9500 (or so, top of the line at the time before the GPS ones), but it got stolen in Chicago when somebody shattered her window.
I love my V1, best mod eva-R
