February 2006

Ok, I realize that our selection of Cobra radar detectors has gotten quite large. With the 2005 models, PRO series models and now the new 2006 models, I can understand if those shopping for a Cobra are just a little overwhelmed 🙂 Anyway, below is a small chart that should make it a little easier […]

PNI has a new detector launching this April: the rechargeable Steel Eye RW3100. The RW3100 will be competing directly with the Whistler 1788, currently the only rechargeable radar detector on the market. At a glance, it looks as if the new Steel Eye will have a few advantages over the 1788. The RW3100 is lighter, […]

I just want to take a minute to clarify with everyone how our shipping options work. We occasionally get emails that go something like this: Hi. I placed an order on Thursday with 2 day delivery. It is now Monday morning and I don’t have my package. Please refund my shipping. In almost all of […]

We’ve still got a few Bel 945’s that we need to move, so we’re dropping our price by $20. While supplies last, you can get one for only $149.99. We’ll even throw in free shipping. This is a good opportunity to pick up a top performing Bel radar detector for under $150. The Bel Vector […]

The use of LIDAR (laser) guns by police to detect vehicles speed is growing rapidly throughout the United States, as well as the world. With this growing threat, it is very important that drivers realize that a radar detector alone should not be trusted to protect them from laser. In this post, I want to […]

It has been brought to my attention that there are some stores selling the Whistler 1788 cordless radar detector considerably cheaper than BuyRadarDetectors.com. I did a little research, and just wanted to let everyone know that this cheaper version is a little different than the package that we are selling. Whistler 1788’s that come from […]

I have received more detailed information on the new 2006 Whistler models. They have some very interesting models coming out, with some features that are truly new to the radar detector world. All of the 2006 models are part of a new series, called the “XTR Series”. This XTR series seems to break down into […]

Cobra has many different models. Choosing between them can be difficult. One question that we’re always being asked is: What’s the difference between the Cobra 9700 and the Cobra 9780? As far as the radar detectors themselves, there is no difference at all. The PRO 9780 does include a few add-ons that people seem to […]

People just love the fact that the Whistler Cruisader radar detector can be mounted in a standard 2 1/16 inch gauge enclosure! Since this is the only detector on this market with this feature, we are always getting asked if the Cruisader will work in a car, as well as a motorcycle. The answer is […]

The Republican newspaper from Springfield, MA has a nice article about police laser. Several police officers are interviewed about LIDAR, so it’s interesting to see a police officer’s perspective. Here are a few quotes: Northampton police officer Michael J. Allard has never lost an appeal when a speeder has been caught with lidar, a laser-based […]
