Hi alls,

May I ask european buddies to give their feedback about Radar detectors used in Europe (Benelux, France, UK, ...).
Is it efficient for fixed & mobile radars ?

Hi
I have a W-Pro finder 2000. ( In fact a Bel 975R, adapted to Spain bands)

It detects both radar and laser and works with fix and moving speed measuring units.

It is located inside the left side little glove box. You do not see it unless you open it.

For radar detection, a small unit has been located in front of the car. ( Fresh air entrance)

For laser, one inside one of the back-lights, and other on top of the front glass.

Complete price about 900 Euros.

Sensibility is pretty good. Howwever for fix radars top and behind a large pannel at freeways, you have to react soon, as you get advice at about 200m to radar.

Sound is clear and you soon learn to discriminate. Laser beam detection is adviced by a loud beep and you fast have to change form one lane to other.
