5.0 out of 5 stars Beep Beep..., December 20, 2008

By	K. Schroeder "Barking Mad" (Canine Country IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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....

4.0 out of 5 stars Cobra is the BEST, January 7, 2009

By	J. Dieter "New Author" (Allentown, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
