We get a lot of questions about what radar detector is the best deal around. Anyone that reads this blog knows that we like every Whistler radar detector model, but that does not mean they have the best budget radar detector for everyone.
If you are looking for a radar detector with very fast detection capabilities, or Ku band detection we have a detector you may like. The Bel Vector 995 Radar Detector has Ku band detection and is a very good radar detector for the price. It has fast detection speeds, good filtering, and has a great informational display.
Also, if you are looking for a radar detector that can also be easily used with other defensive gear for even more protection, you will want to give the Vector 995 a look. You can add some Laser Veil for better protection from laser, and even connect it to the Cincinnati Microwave ZR4 Laser Defense System (The two are made to work together!). Later, I would add the Cheetah GPS Mirror to have complete protection from radar, laser, and cameras. This is a surprisingly affordable upgrade path for those that want to build a good protective system over time.
We currently have a special on a Beltronics 995 and Veil combo to help get you started. For $314.94 you will have a great Beltronics radar detector, and Laser Veil. Call us if you have any radar detector questions.
KU Band does not exist in this country. Why make it seem like a great feature?
You do know www means World Wide Web? We have customers and friends in countries where Ku is very common. They think it is a wonderful feature! This is why the manufacturers enable you to turn off bands that are not used where you live. This way they can provide a service to everyone.
Hello.
What is KU-band? Does it exist in Sweden? Does your detectors detect laser?
Ku is a radar band used by police mostly in Europe. Police radar uses different bands or frequencies:
X-band: 10.525 GHz +/- 25 MHz
K-band: 24.150 GHz +/- 100 MHz
Ka-Band: 34.700 GHz +/- 1300 MHz
Ku-Band: 13.400 GHz +/- 25 MHz
The Bel Vector 995 radar detector also includes laser detection. There are some places in Europe that also use a narrow band Ka (34.3GHz). The best radar detector we have found for Europeans is our modified Valentine One:
