re: Best Radar Detector.....Go?

I have an Escort 9500. I do keep it updated with speed camera/ trap locations. The absolute #1 reason why people who have a radar and get tickets is due to improperly mounting the detector. You need a clear line of sight ahead AND behind the detector. Mounting a $600 radar low on your windshield gives the rear detector a very low probability of detecting a signal if it's facing a headrest in the back seat. Mount it too high and the blue tint strip at the top of your windshield will affect the accuracy; dark tint on the rear window will also diminish the detectors sensitivity. As far as laser detection, mine only signals the lasers around airports. I believe the K and Ka (some Ku) are still the status quo for law enforcement. I'm happy with what I have but if I were buying, I'd talk to commercial drivers and the cops themselves. Sill only illegal in D.C. and Virginia if I remember correctly.
