Best Radar Detector: Read about radar detector reviews:

Windshield-mounted radar detectors | Hidden remote radar detectors
Radar Detection + Laser Jamming, Front Only | 360 Degree Radar Detection + Laser Jamming

We get many calls from drivers asking about the best radar detector and where to find radar detector reviews that are truthful and objective. Questions include distance detection of the best radar detector; and why is distance detection important or which radar detectors pick up hidden radar speed trap over the hill or around a blind curve. False radar alerts and radar detector detector invisibility are also big issues. And now that GPS radar detectors are available, which is the best radar detector between an Escort radar detector, Beltronics or Valentine One radar detector? People sometimes refer to a fuzz buster for the radar detector they are calling about. We get emails asking about a radar dector. Whether you want a fuzz buster or a radar dector, we know the answers because we do a radar detector test and laser jammer test every year with Speed Measurement Labs, where El Paso police are used to take the data. There is no chance to fudge the data of the radar detector test. We then summarize to comparison charts that you see below. These radar detector reviews show why a radar detector or radar laser detector and laser jammer may be best for your purchase. We hope you find this information useful and if you have any questions, please call our sales staff, Abe and Jamie, at 303-678-9101. Abe is also very familiar with installers of radar detectors and laser jammers.

10	* Laser Detection - All radar detectors detect laser, but the laser gun is a pointing tool, so if you detect laser, it means the laser gun
	is pointing at you. Your speed has already been detected, unless you are using a laser jammer.
	** Escort Redline does not yet have official SML test, but it is identical to STi Driver in RF design and performance.
