Troopers Meet Your Match
 
Review Date: May 6, 2010
Reviewer: David Trammell,
I purchased this radar unit for my Hummer H2. I am very familiar with radar being a commercial pilot. I've owned radar detecting equipment off and on for 32 years. This is the most sophisticated highly sensitive unit I've owned and its easy to set up and operate. Its mounted on my dash since I cant reach the windshield from the drivers seat. The radar detector performs great. It has many features to reduce false alerts. I like the intellimute feature. It senses your RPMS and mutes the sound up to a preset RPM that you have entered, plus speed alerts you can preset. Mine is set at 75. It will chime and says "speed alert" if speed is exceeded, very handy and shows your speed when alerting. It has picked up state troopers in town blocks away, plenty of time to adjust your speed. The screen is visable in bright daylight, but I use the blackout feature which it goes dark after a preset time you enter but it will light back up upon a radar/gps signal. The icons can be set to different colors (green blue red orange or multi) to match your dash light colors. You can tell if its a false hit because it will only read out KA band, but a police radar hit will show the frequency he is using. The touch screen is priceless. Just a touch of an icon will change a feature and is very easy to change settings on the go, and the red-light/speed camera/speed trap detection is indispensible. As I was driving the interstate on a camp trip the Cobra 9970G alerted (caution speed trap area). Right after it alerted I looked over at the oncoming lanes and a state trooper had someone pulled over with lights flashing. This thing really works. The AURA Database is constantly updated every 12 hours and is free with the purchase of the 9970G. You can also manually set different alert locations up to 1000 of them. I usually set it up for school zones. It will alert you well ahead of them.
BEST RADAR DETECTOR WE'VE EVER OWNED......

...hands down. Probably the most exciting feature for us is the ability of the unit to warn against speed traps....AWESOME....especially the fact that you can connect the unit via USB to your PC; the latest speed trap info is loaded free of charge.

Although a little pricey, I thought, well worth the money. The main issue that I have with the unit is that the touch screen is VERY difficult to see in bright light. Other than that....can't miss with this one. Speeding tickets will be a thing of the past.

Reviewer: William J. Moyer, Pensacola, Fl, USA
This is the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art radar and laser detector I've ever seen. Actually, this is way overkill for me, as I don't drive as much as I used to and some of the features I just don't use. No need to go into all the specifics of this ultra-neat device; other reviewers have covered everything I could imagine discussing and some of the reviewers are much more tech-savvy than me. Suffice to say, if you want the best in radar detectors this would be hard to beat.
Super Good State-of-the Art Radar Detector

Reviewer: Nav, San Jose, CA
I dont drive much fast all the time but this thing is a life saver as I own a sports car & sometimes u go over the limit without even noticing. This is the most easy to operate, sophisticated & highly sensitive unit I've owned.
I also like the photo enforcement alert as it makes you more cautious while driving.
the speet trap & dangerous intersection alert is also very good.
Overall worth your hard earned money..
Ticket saver

Reviewer: Opie,
Been using the product for a couple of months now. The red light camera mode did not alert me to any cameras while traveling from Pennsylvania to Myrtle beach through Virginia. It however did alert on several police operated radar surveillance points. It also worked excellent on two occasions on the Ohio Turnpike with State Police operated Lazar Guns. Also the GPS mode saved me because my speedometer broke and I was able to observe my speed with the built in speedometer in the unit. I do highly recommend this Cobra Radar Detector with GPS! Like I said the only con is the red light camera notification and these red light cameras might not have been added to the data base as of yet. Good unit and good price through Amazon.com
