well...the reason why you don't think it works is probably because you have your detector pick up all the bands...X-band is archaic, they don't use X band anymore, and in Houston, K-band is close to phasing out too...KA-band is the predominant one now...I'm on my 4th Valentine 1, and I've always set the radar to ignore X-band, otherwise, when you go pass a store or a bank, it would go off...K-band also goes off, but K-band is also used by johnny law here, so I leave it on...

no one thing you gotta remember is that the device is a radar "detector", it detects radar. A lot of people talk and refer to it as a "radar", and it's not...it detects emitting radars...therefore, if the cop doesn't have his radar on, then your detector detect it...

You think those are bad.
ALWAYS remember someone else has it worse than you.
I'd rather be in your position than being in mine, that's for sure.

He(Crown) is going through some tough times as well (i'm not sure if it's speeding or different violation).

Ethan, I checked Buy.com and they had it(9500ix) for $434. Anywhere cheaper?

I passed a state trooper while going 100 mph this morning. He didn't budge, but still had me shaking.

I'll be getting the 9500ix most likely.
