SOLO S3 uses only a fraction of the power used by conventional corded detectors. Using 2 standard (AA) batteries (included), the SOLO S3 provides months of normal driving protection. A new low-battery warning circuit keeps constant watch on the condition of the batteries, and provides you with both audible and visual alerts before they need to be replaced. A new AutoPower feature (programmable) automatically turns the SOLO S3 off to conserve battery life.
Long-Range Radar Protection
The redesigned SOLO S3 provides long-range warning on all radar bands including conventional and "instant-on" X-band, K-band, and Superwide Ka-band. Patented Digital Signal Processing (DSP) provides the longest warning possible without constant false alarms.
Product Features
Frequency Band: K-band 24.15 GHz ? 100 MHz, Ka Band 34.70 GHz ? 1.30 GHz, Laser, X-band 10.53 GHz ? 25 MHz
Posted by: cjgintrepid04 from new york,ny on 05/22/2013I bought this detector because of the great reviews I have read on best buy site as well other sites.
I expected the range to be shorter then my passport 8500 x50 but this thing is horrible. It does not pick up until you are almost on top of the cop and or radar sign
Going back and being exchanged for another corded detector

Posted by: Placcy from SF Bay Area, CA on 01/03/2012I used this a full month before writing this review. First off, don't believe some of the battery life stories. I had good Duracell's in there and it lasted about 5 weeks before it said to replace. That's the only negative I can think of. I was able to easily disable X and K bands which go off at intersections and shopping malls w electronic doors. The Ka and Laser detection works fine. Every time I got a Ka alert i would see a highway patrol within 20-30 seconds. Got a couple laser detections too, but it was properly cars collision systems rather than cops. So this detector does work just fine, only drawback is it may not have the distance of the more expensive detectors. Try and get it on sale for $329 and it is a nice little deal.

Well worth the price

Posted by: Goofy from UTAH on 01/01/2012This detector is pricey, but is a good value. Range is better with it plugged into the car but is still good while on Batteries , Battery life is great compared to other brands I’ve owned. But, the real reason to purchase this unit is the portability and convenience of a battery powered detector, I spend a lot of time in rental cars and this Detector is great for that.

Huge improvment over Solo S2

Posted by: MattCinFL from Naples, FL on 08/28/2011This detector is pricey, but a fairly good value. I've had excellent performance from this new version. I've owned two S2 Solo's, and while decent and serviceable units, this one exceeds them in every area.
Better range, battery life, fewer false alarms, and the new OLED screen is a significant improvement over the prior LCD.
But, the real reason to purchase this unit is the portability and convenience of a battery powered detector. It's naturally not going to have the range and sensitivity of a wired unit, but there's no contest when it comes to using it in multiple vehicles.
