Most websites that promote these units or say they test them are actually selling them to , so they are not unbiased tests.

Over 25yrs ago when cops only used X band you stood a chance of slowing down with out getting nailed.

But with K band KA , laser and instant on units, you are usually already in the sights of the police speed unit and all your fancy $500 -$1000 units will not protect you from a unit with an instant on or laser unit.

Some ppl think that by putting a little electronic box with LEDS and weird sounds that they have turned their cars into stealth fighters and are now invisible to police speed detection, but in reality they are in their little fantasy world.

Also with the tricky police setting up around a blind down hill curve or hiding in the bushes or using the stalking mood where they come up from behind you and either turn the speed unit on or pace you, you don't really stand a chance.

Your better off in the long run of just keeping with the speed limit and saving your money.

Do you know how radar signals even work? By the sounds of it you are just blinding following what a cop told you. X, K, Ka all fall victim of rebound, redirects and even leaked signal. Meaning even with instant on the signal is not always pinging a target and returning back without notifying anyone else.

I can tell you for a fact on a hill in Houston there was a cop on the other side just sitting with Ka on one day and I picked it up on the other side, slowed down. He saw my radar, waved and gave me a thumbs up.

State Trooper was using instant on, I was getting random Ka AND K band signals for 1 to 2 seconds, he was going the opposite way of me but pinging cars randomly. He did a quick U-turn and pulled a guy over that passed me at one point.

The fight between radar detection and offense is a never ending battle, but no matter what unit you use it comes down to how you, as the driver, react to it. I can pick up a solid Ka from a mile away but if I keep wanting to speed that is my own fault. The upper end units, V1 & Escort, do work and work very well. Cops will always have new techniques to try to beat a radar detector but at the end of the day that is a small percent who use it. Most will just drive around town with K or Ka on 100% of the time, because in the end that is more of a determent than a cop pinging individual cars and deterring you from speeding is the goal not the ticket.
