yeah my friend is letting me borrow his cobra xrs 9730 12 band, and just gotta say wow. this radar will pick up cops well over a mile away and although does have false readings they get really easy to tell teh difference between.

I have a valentine one 1.8 with a "blendmount" rearview mirror mount, everything hard wired. I also bought a "full color defense" V1 concealed color display. Total cost for everything was about $550. DEFINATELY worth it (but I drive 100,000 miles + a year, so it's my lifeline!)

I have one of those Cobra 12 bands from another member on here. Only bought it cause it was 20 bucks. I like watching the navigational direction switch on it. I don't speed excessively but it has saved me many times. The range isn't all that great. Probably around 300feet. I would recommend something better if you speed a lot. I just like the comfort of slowing down when the cops are around.
