Can anyone give some advise on the best make of radar detector to go for? I am currently deciding between a RoadAngel, Origin B4 and Snooper S6r.

Anyone have any particular model they think is best?

Any recomendations on suppliers (seem quite cheap on Radar Girl)

Cheers

currently thinking the same thing myself. Origin B2 seems to be one of the best spec's in my view and appears to be a compact, neat unit.

Currently there are a few Origin B2's on e-bay at £329

I've just bought a road angel, and it's saved my bacon today, going for £350 at Halfrauds....

Origin B2 would be the best unit out of the ones you suggested. I would also get a jammer, and install that seperately from the B2 as I've heard there are problems intergrating the 2 at the moment.

Its the neatest looking unit, and origin have the most up to date database, slightly better than snooper.

just bought the snooper s6neo

only had it 2 day but first impressions are good, takes 3/4 min to switch on and register, does get quite a few false bleeps when you look for radar but I think they are all the same - I switch radar off (keep lazer and gps on)

best bit is I payed £290 from costco other wise I probably would have got a road angle

I have a Road Angel and it seems to be very good not too obtrusive, and even better with an LRC100 coupled to it, with all of these units by the time the laser detector picks anything up its often too late.

I have the Bell Vector , had it for 5 years now.
Expensive at the time circa AUS$800 , but has paid for itself several fold.
On a highway detects before oncoming cops with radar are obvious!
Multinova always detectable in time to slow down.
Laser -unfortunately too late once detected.

Mine picks up alll the pelican crossings,traffic lights,and an anything thats got a movement/radar type detection unit fitted, hence its deemed to be unreliable.Road angel are good for fixed cameras

Thanks everyone for your views.

Can anyone explain what LRC100 is???

mn_angrybeats

LRC100 is a laser Jammer......jams the laser gun so the filth cannot get a speed reading on you.....

Ok there are a number of types of Radar Detectors

1. GPS
2. Detectors
3. Diffusers

GPS uses technology to locate your position and warn you of cameras.

Detectors Pick up on the frequency given off by police radar / laser and gatso cameras

Diffusers These jam police radar and laser guns but are illegal to use


My advice is to go for a mixture, such as the Snooper S4, Road Angel or origin B2. These models have a variety of safety features and even warn you when you go past a school.
