I've previously owned a Whistler ( model 425 if memory serves me right,
I don't remember for sure, it got stolen from my car :-( ) and the
amount of false alarms made it practically useless. I'm currently using
Uniden 2150SW and I'm quite pleased with its performance. Acceptable
amount of false alarms, yet sensitivity good enough to save one's butt
when it is really needed. Of course, we are talking about _cheap_ unit
here. It can be had for about 70 bucks. The best you can buy is
Valentine 1, but it means $$$.
