I have a Beltronics RX65 Professional series. when I bought it about a year and a half ago it was considered to be the best on the market. Prior to that I had a Beltronics Vector 990, it too was considered to be the best by every testing lab/company out there. I paid over $300 for both, best $600 I ever spent, it pays for itself after the ticket you avoid. I have paid for mine many times over... MANY! This is an area where you get what you pay for, seriously. Beltronics is considered to be the best... sure there are others but Beltronics has the highest rating across the board I have seen. I have not looked in the last year or so, it may have changed... but I doubt it. The key is to always have it on, and in a good location (even though mine still works if its hiding in the glove box LOL). You still have to keep an eye out for cycle cops who don't run radar while riding usually, and for the ones who sneak up behind you with their radar off and "pop" it, the RX65 has "POP" detection, so if your out in the open your nailed... if your in a bunch of traffic, you can slide over and down out of the way if your good, and not obvious about it.

Too don't believe everything a cop tells you about Radar... unless that cop was a radar technician for 40 years like my grandfather was. He use to be a cycle cop for the Bakersfield PD for a few years, but before and then later after that he was a radar technician for the government, My father was too, and still is to some degree he is now the manager for the guys who fix the radars... anyway point being they both have said CHP radar is not that accurate, it can't pinpoint you out of a crowd like they want you to believe, and it can't accurately judge speed if its bouncing around a corner of a mountain etc... like one tried to tell me LMAO! He about $hit brick when I told him he was FOS and explained to him why... anyway check out the Beltronics line, and again, you may spend a chunk of money for a decent one, but it's worth it!!

EDIT: Check this out, find an old Radar detector and get an $80 rebate from Beltronics, looks like the new big dog is the GX65...
