Since being ticketed for doing 70 in a 55 zone, I decided it was time to get a new radar detector.
Thanks to A4L for telling me about the radartests.com site that evaluated the latest batch of detectors. I bought the highley rated Escort 8500 for $299.00 and it is a great radar detector. It detects radar almost too much in advance as you have to cool it on your speed until you are sure the coast is clear. Yesterday, it went off and then stopped...two miles later I saw the highway patrolman approaching from the other lane.
For those who like to ZOOM at times in their MDX, you might want to review the tests on radar detectors. More amd more of the highway patrolmen are using Ka, which is the most difficult radar band to detect...it sure got me and my then radar detector didn't know what hit me.
