[s-cars] radar detectors, was Buying parts at S-fest

[Lee Levitt]

Dave,

Thanks for the note and the offer. I'm a dedicated speeder and my 
personal ECM of choice is Mike Valentine's finest unit. Once 
you've lived with the arrows, you'll never go back.

This particular purchase is for my wife's car, and while I've been 
offered all sorts of 9 volt Passports at this point :) I think I'm 
going to upgrade her car to either a Passport 5000 or maybe an 
8500 or even a Solo. The 5000s are cheap (around $30) and the 
8500s start at around $100.

I may do a back to back personal comparo of the V1 and the various 
units just to see which is the best alternative. Unfortunately I 
don't encounter very much radar in my normal travels, so this may 
be a bit of a lame comparo.

Anyone have any data to share?

Lee
