Not so. KA detection is great and a lifesaver. The options are great including dark mode for nighttime driving. I have found it to be bullet reliable and plenty loud. The laser warning went off and I almost thought it was a false alert until I cleared some trees. KA is low power and harder to detect effectively.
(Keeps it from being seen at night and provides eye relief). The false alerts that some reviewers report are more than likely due to this. Some of the reviewers have said that you are dead meat by the time the laser detector goes off. If you are the lead car of a group (which I try not to be), or on your own, both POP radar and laser are a definite danger with any detector.
Every passenger who has ever experienced it while riding with me has said they have never seen a better unit, period. I am confident that you will never be surprised by any moving patrol using radar. The advantage of this detector is that it is so sensitive that it can pick up POP that was directed at another vehicle far away. I decided to review it.
This thing saved my bacon on a recent cross country trip on I-70. It is as good as you are going to get. You can also shut it up, which is great when you are on the same road as a traveling radar patrol car. Fixed ambushes are another story because of POP and laser, but as reported above, it still gives you a fighting chance.
I have had this detector for years now and was preparing to buy another for my motorcycle. The patrolman had apparently targeted a vehicle that was 1/4 to 1/2 mile ahead of me and the RX65 picked up the signal (from scatter I assume). X band and K band are common in other than enforcement uses.
(Can't see how any detector could be). I would not buy this product if I knew then what I know now. Not effective at all on "pop" type radars. Has broken down 3 times.
Picks up the cops from about 2 miles away around turns over hills it's just a good radar over all. Great radar would recomened to anyone This thing works great. I've had other radars in the past from escort, but did not have as many features than the bell and for half the price.
It saved us from getting several speeding tickets on our 15 hour drive to Florida. This Radar Detector works. Best Radar Detector I've ever had.
My wife needed one for her car recently, so I purchased another one. I purchased one a few years ago for my truck. It is a great radar detector and would purchase them again in the future and high recommend them to anyone.
