Radar Detector
 
The thing Ive always wonderd was is there really a huge diffrence in the modes. My radar has Auto, Highway, and city. I leave it on auto. If I left it on Highway would it work better?

I always leave mine on highway.

1BADVETTE 07-26-2005 08:31 PM

Its less sensitive on city mode- supposedly it doesn't false as much

exactly, auto is probably best. City will also ignore most x band radar, here the cops use x band

Mine is where Highway is less sensitive than city, so that's why I leave it on city, I'd rather have false alarms than no alarms at all.

then yours is broken, highway means it accepts all incomming signals (less chance of false alarms on the highway) is it a whistler by any chance?

ryann 07-27-2005 11:25 AM

yeah, which one would u guys recomend for gettin w/ in the next few months? and price wise keep it under 340

personally I bought a cobra at circuit city and it works great for me.

Edit: Mine's really sensitive, too, always goes off around plazas because it picks up the microwave signals that the automatic doors give off.
