5.0 out of 5 stars Beep Beep..., December 20, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cobra XRS 9740 Ultra Performance 12-Band Radar/Laser Detector (Electronics)
I use Radar Detectors in every vehicle and I have all brands... The most important thing I want to say about this one is... It does NOT have that ever annoying BEEP BEEP that penetrates through your skull that forces you to mute the thing and then you forget it went off and see the source of the detection!! IT HAS A PLEASANT TONE (as pleasant as a tone warning you about a speed trap can be...)!! And it even slowly fades quieter... Oh... I LOVE this detector! I plan on replacing all my others with this model! On a side note.. it is also much moer light weight than others.. so when you hit one of those front-end killing pot holes thatare all over our great nation, it will NOT fall dramatically from you windsheild mount and cause you to swerve throught the highway lane....

5.0 out of 5 stars Cobra XRS 9740 does the job!, February 15, 2009
By 
J. Spears (Denham Springs, La) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cobra XRS 9740 Ultra Performance 12-Band Radar/Laser Detector (Electronics)
I have had many radar detectors since I have been driving and the Cobra XRS 9740 is very impressive. I actually purchased two for both my wife's car and my truck. The day I recieved it I plugged it up, turned it on, and was attempting to install it on my windshield when it said "Ka Band Detected". I was wondering what button I accidentally pushed when I noticed a sheriff's car coming down the main road outside of my subdivision. The distance on mine is outstanding and my wife has had the same results as me. Some people have said it is difficult to program, but I found that it was extremely easy. Also it comes with a short coiled cord but I ordered a long straight one (item #420030N001) for my truck. My next door neighbor liked my XRS 9740 so much that he ordered him one and he loves it too. I have seen some of these one star reviews and just have to laugh! Radar detectors do not always work, or they work too little too late. Some police cars you pass may not have the radar on so don't assume the detector is broken. If you're the first or only vehicle on the road and a police officer aims the laser gun at you your detector will go ballistic, but you're still busted. A radar detector is not a free pass to speed, but a reminder to check your speed. Overall, I would highly recommend this product.

This review is from: Cobra XRS 9740 Ultra Performance 12-Band Radar/Laser Detector (Electronics)
I would purchase this Cobra again. I read all the reviews before buying and they were correct - great item. Once I learned the codes (exp: X) then I didn't panic. My hearing is going and like that it alerts me to emergency vehicles.
