Model Reviewed:
1999?
Strength:
Flexible display (dark, mute) Clear LED band indicators and S-meter Simplicity of design and operation Simple windshield mounting can be fitted to other manufacturers'' windshield mounts in a pinch
Weakness:
Rapid test cycle makes it difficult to learn to distinguish various audio alerts Warning LED''s or a light could be larger. Audio level adequate for quiet sedans, less so for sports, SUV, or older vehicles Adequate radar detector with a few added features like SWS. Performance good for a middleweight, adequate for use in the city, or as a second detector when a running mate can be found that doesn''t interfere with the Cobra and vice versa. Haven''t observed this unit''s performance against "Gatso", photo radar, Ka-band units, or laser. In-town threats are mostly K-band. Purchased secondhand with power cord but without mounts or owner''s manual.
