I have a tight budget, and I cant afford the v1 or escort, but has anyone looked or used senspro pni model radar/laser detectors. They got one that retails at like $179 at costco for $97, and it seemed to rank high in some tests in 2002. What do you guys think?

 

we just had a thread on this...i say jus save up for the v1, its worth it

 

I'd pass on those cheap brands. Either the Passport for $300 or the V1 for $400. Get the V1, you won't be sorry.

 

does anyone have a link to the V1 website or know where I can purchase one from here in Houston?

That's the ONLY place to buy NEW.
The ones on EBAY sell for almost as much so you're better off buying new.

Does anyone have the skinny on the legality of detectors, particularly in Calif.? I have heard they are illegal in Arizona...

 

Legal in all states except Virgina. Also not for use in Washington DC.

 

check out maxim this month they review them, they had a cheap one that they said worked pretty good, not as good as the v1 and passport but still decent

 

As said before save up for the V1.

 

My V1 with remote worked get in VA and DC!! But not in plain view.

 

yea when i go to virginia i put it in the arm rest and it still picks stuff up pretty well. i've had a bel vector 985 for 6 months with no tickets and i speed all the time.
