I have the cobra ESD-9110. It's 360* picks up all bands, and works very very well. You shouldn't rely on these though. Most cops don't turn on their radar until they see your lights coming and BOOM - the radar picks up 4 bars and you're busted. I paid about $140 for this but It's about a year old. I know it's out there cheaper, try Best Buy or Circuit City. Definitely go with a Cobra. There one of the better models out there. Don't bother going with the ones that talk to you or anything, just something that will pick up the radar and let you know. Also, a side note....if you get pulled over, immediately pull your radar off the dash, otherwise it's an instant ticket. I'm lucky I have the military ID. I can't tell you how many tickets that's gotten me out of. You'd think I would learn my lesson by now huh? I just love speed. Hope this helps.

With 5 tickets in 5 months just be happy that you are still driving. In Virginia they would have had you license for a year after the 3rd one. This state sucks when it comes to traffic. You just can't find a good state to speed in anymore.

Montana.

You could also look at Whistler's radar/laser detectors. Stick with a brand name, they are all about the same.

The radar jammers only work at a distance, get up closer and the radar will punch through it, unless you are running an ECM pod or the ECM from an OAS B-52
