I used to have a bel 835 or so cant remember the number but it worked very good. But it was also around the same price but got it through a friend who used to get them from his work place so to say. I would go to a pawn shop. MM

Valentine is THE One Of The BEST hands down. But testing revealed the Valentine lacks the ultimate K and Ka band sensitivity of the newer BEL and Cobra models. Still if you dont want to pay that outragous price I would consider The Cobra 9000. It is proof positive that it is possible to get a high-quality detector for less than $100. Although not as stylish as the XR-1050, it provides all essential coverage over nine bands, saving big bucks in the process. ($84.95).

Good Luck now lets talk MUSCLE.
