Review on Beltronics 015007-6 STi Magnum Radar Detector: Ultimate Protection for Drivers by Tony Weber

I'm not a fast or aggressive driver. In fact, I usually drive to optimize fuel economy. But that doesn't mean I don't occasionally ride solo trails after hours, and with the advent of camera speed traps, non-officer speed traps (look at you, MD), etc., some situational awareness was welcome. After all, tickets without points probably won't do much, but getting a ticket with points and even if you go to court the insurance companies can still tell you. So it's more of a defense against thieving insurance companies than against the authorities. Even though I don't usually drive more than a few kilometers per hour and always move in the flow of traffic, sometimes I do become a target on empty roads. I don't use it all the time, but I've found it great around town and on the highway. Sometimes you can't tell why there is a hint, so now I understand why the V1 arrows are valuable. But the lack of self-inflicting radiation is a plus for me even though I never use it in VA. Sensitivity is excellent, there are few false alarms, auto power off. In general I'm happy.
