I bought the Cobra SPX 5300 today from Bloomington, In Best Buy. I was in the city mode driving to pick my son up and my new detector sounded on K band so I took the chiming serious and slowed down, Then the city police car came in to view. I had the same thing happen when going home. The Cobra sounded on K band in city mode and gave me plenty of time to slow down before the police car came into view. he got a good half of mile ahead of me and it kept sounding..turn him around at that distance and it would lie up to the Cobra name again! ery happy customer.

This thing is killer! Great accuracy and great vol. Not like the old school radars that require you to keep your music down low in order for you to hear the warning sounds coming from the radar. There have been 2 occasions where the splitter feature has bailed me out of what would've been very high speeding fines. Very user friendly, fits nicely on dash & has a firm hold with quality suction cups and firm, well placed brackets

Have no issues with this radar detector. It was pretty easy to set up, instructions were good. While driving with it mounted to the windhield, it does tend to vibrate up and down a lot. Not sure if this effects the sensitivity. It is hard to see the alert leds in full sunlight.
