Wondering if any of you guys out there know of any good radar dectectors that actually work but arent a hole in my wallet...let me know thanks!

They don't make what you are looking for. Buy a cheap one and you just waste your money. But even the good ones don't help much.

There is some kind out now that pin points where each cop is but it's like $2K.
I paid $150 for my Whistler 1734 and it does what it's supposed to.

I've had 3 different radar detectors. 1st i had a cobra $100, POS!! that thing was crap. 2nd was the Escort Passport 8500 X50. (dont forget the X50) that would be IMO the best buy out right now get it on ebAY for about $200 or so. Now i have the Valentine One, $400. BEST DETECTOR EVER. but costs a lot.
the escort passport 8500 X50 and the Valentine One IMO are the only detectors worth buying. Everything else is a waste of $$

I have a passport 8500 x50 also. it is by far the best one out there for 300 bucks. you can go to their website and buy it there. it works great, and you can download software updates (supposedly). it has saved me alot of money over time.............

i have a valantine and IT IS THE BEST just came home form a 1600 mile trip at 90 plus most of the way and picked up every cop at least a mile a head enough time to slow down

how do the radar detectors even work ?

Valentine One.

V1 ... only way to fly. i feel naked w/o mine.

just remember it's not a cop detector, it's a radar detector.

there is a company called rocky mountain radar, they have something called the phantom 2 which actually jazzes up the cops frequency when he goes to clock you, I know a cop and he told me that it actually works it comes up error on his radar gun. It is very pricy though at $265 or so but it works it has kept me out of about 40 tickets or so. Hell the company says it works so well that if you get a ticket they will pay it for you, as long as it is not reckless driving or something, I recomment this product to all of you you will not be disappointed.

I've got one, and it has worked EXCELLENT so far.. Went past a state trooper going 110 and didn't see him til it was too late.. No lights ;) he couldn't pace me either because there were no other cars to radar, and he was sitting... loooooser hahahaaa I got mine used on craigslist for 150 bucks.. i got a steal! The valentine is also really nice too

Nothing by RMR or Rocky Mountain Radar will jam laser or radar and their radar detection sucks.
