the one my dad had for a while was $500 it was a Rocky Mountain brand or whatever, though he gave up on it cause he found that some people say that these jammers do not really work as well as people percieve, so he dropped it and was going to get a valentine or whatever

valetine radars are really good radars but do not have jammer components in them, if you are going for a valentine might as well get the escort 8500 and save some money. Escort I believe has a jamming component you can add to the 8500 for an extra 350 bux, but dont quote me on that.

FWIW there is a lot of information at radardetectors.net covering radar and laser. I think the URL is correct, I'll check from home tonite.

hey ulrich: I thought the laser location might catch your eye. That is just east of the USPS building. Haven't seen them there since.
Well, I always go up to Memorial Drive and head in the other direction, so I am not as concerned as the next guy.

But I know where you mean. A while back, when they still had that wooden fence in that area before the childcare, there was a cop hiding behind it every so often (standing in the street, car parked, and then he'd flag people down). I suspect this is the same location.

I've also seen them in the road in the back of the WL3 parking garage. There's a little parking bay where they sit at times.
