But my habits had taught me to simply slow down no matter what until the threat was no more. Thus I never bought into arrows.
Keep in mind, I've been driving since 1988 since High School.
I think I got my first Detector in the early 90s, a BEL or Escort.
I upgraded every 2 years after that. I stuck with BEL or Escort because they worked and saved me countless of tickets! And I tend to be "brand loyal".
Ever since I've owned my current R3 and updated the firmware a handful of times, it has worked FLAWLESSLY! It never let's me down. And I've tweaked it so that falsing is non existent. Do I want a R7 and now R8? Sure. Is it a priority purchase? Nope. Only because:
A. My R3 works so damn good.
B. I drive so little.
I'm actually interested in their R4 as well. It too has crazy long distance range.
Safe motoring to all.  |
I've seen a few used R3's locally...is there anything to watch out for? Old/bad firmware, common failure points like the power port or inability to find a signal, etc? I've been using the same relic of a.radar detector since graduating in '93 but I ALWAYS use Waze just to be sure.
