Rose Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 I was given a radar detector as a present and used it briefly, but now that i will be in school for the next 2 and a half years straight(and no car), i have no use for it. i know it sold for over $100, and it has all the normal features and specifies what vehicle is near (ie: ambulance. police, overhead radar...) I'm looking for $50. If anyone is interested ill try to get more info and post some pictures. Thanks.
ColoradoHigh Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 What kind of software does it use? I mean, like running software. Does it have antennas that get the signal of other crafts? The big question is, is it LEGAL?
meggles Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Sharper Image...is cool...but lets give respect to the origional thread.. sorry, tried to make reference to the office..oh well but anyway, we had a radar detector in our old car and it came in handy more than once that seems like a good deal too, $50.

romemadman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 do not buy rocky montain radar detectors they don't work i want one soon cuz i have a feeling it will save me once or twice
Gurp Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 alright im to lazy to read all the threads, Is it sold? is 50 the lowest ull go? what brand is it?
Rose Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Posted November 15, 2006 It's a cobra radar detector which plugs into a cigarette lighter it has different settings for city and highway driving the chirping will get louder as you get closer to the target, you can mute it so it will only flash and it has an intelli-mute button which i never used but i think it will only go off if its actually a cop it picks up many different forms of signals (ex: x, k, kg. v, s...) and a different number will light up depending on the vehicle. The night i got it i drove from atlantic city to my home about 60 miles away in about 30 minutes, which was probably not the best idea but it made me more confident riving up to the mountain at higher speeds definitely and it never failed. All this hype makes me think i should just keep it..Its still going for $50 so let me know if you want it. Ill post pictures later today. Peace
