It's a decent radar detector. Does have alot of false alarms regardless of settings. But if you drive the same areas you get used to it.

It is good when it's a true alert but there are a lot of false alerts that comes with it. I have an escort x80 in a different car and passing by the same road this cobra is a bit jumpy.
On the bright side the volt meter is on the spot for me.
I wish I can return/replace it.

To reduce false alerts, use Medium or Low SEN modes. If you are using the iRadar app with RAD 480i, use Auto SEN mode which will automatically change the SEN mode based on your speed.

Great radar detector for those who dont want to spend $300+. If it fits in your budget I would definitely look into some of the Uniden options. They give way less false alarms and are more precise.

Works as advertised. Great radar detector for the price. Have owned Cobra devices for over twenty years and they have been wonderful.
