Default Snooper S6- R

I'm thinking of buying one of these (I did consider the origin but this doesn't-I don't think - detect radar and its mobile radar and laser guns hiding away that worry me most around these parts!).

Anybody here got one?

Any comments welcome (especially if constructive ).

Yeah I got one. It ain't bad. It's too sensitive though and beeps at all and sundry. Driving through town it's forever beeping away when you go by shop doors, etc which does get annoying.

Haven't managed to test the laser bit properly yet. It's come up with a warning on several occasions, but I never saw anyone holding a radar gun, but I'm sure it works.

You can switch off the X Band detection and that cuts out almost all of the false alarms.

I have been happy with mine.

I have one and its very good, but difficult to locate in the S.
I prefer the look of the origin b2 as it has a nice docking station.
I noticed costco had the sr6 in on Tuesday quite cheap. I thing it was

I dont have a url but I know their website doesnt list items.
I mounted the laser detector in the drivers side corner of the dash towards front. The wires were easy to hide.
The unit itself I mounted just above the front of the door for the CD player, and wired in under the steering wheel. I used the metal window mount bracket provided with the rubber suckers removed. I attached it to the dash using 2 self tapping screws. The two small holes are are on the downward facing slope so are not visble.
To access the CD you jusy slide teh unit off the bracket.

I concur with that.

Mine seems to be detecting aircraft on laser frequencies less recently, which is quite scary sometimes.
