    I’ve driven right by cops multiple times and this hasn’t gone off once. When it does go off the cop can be right next to me and it’s giving a low alert sound. And it constantly goes off when I’m next to traffic lights. All of this is on high or medium sensitivity so it should definetally be going off near cops.

    bought to help on a long trip however it doesn't pick up on the frequency of current policy as I still got a speeding ticket and this thing never even went off however went off when we were in the middle of nothing with no one around us.

    Seen 20 police cars pulling over cars in construction area, alarm never went off once, basically useless. I don’t speed through those areas, but wanted to test it.

    Good basic detector

    After reading favorable reviews, I bought this Cobra to replace a BEL I had used for years, it finally quit on me. It does a very nice job overall. Most police in my neck of the woods use KA band, it doesn't have super long detection range on KA, but, its enough, at least a half a mile to a mile, depending on terrain. The OLED display is good for this price range, very visible and it won't wash out, even in direct sunlight. The "knight rider" scrolling line and screen saver are nice touches, too. Also nice- the alert volume automatically lowers substantially after 3-4 seconds of full volume alerts, nice if you get a pesky K band false, once in awhile it will still pick up K band falses from vehicles with blind spot monitoring or building alarm systems, traffic signals, etc, but not very often and its got online updates for K band falses, which I haven't tried yet. If you want a good basic detector that doesn't cost 500.00, this is a good one.
