ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

      I used to have a Cobra in my G20t until someone ripped it off my dashboard one night . Btw they work great and are really sensitive it all depends on how good of one you get.

        It depends on which one you get. Some people swear by the Valentine, others say its garbage..same with the escort and various other brands..only thing you can really do is see how well they work for yourself...OR just let some of your friends buy them and see which ones work lol

                cobras never let me down, well the older ones would always pick up false signals but the new ones r great, get the POP one, it picks them up from about 2-3 miles away most of the time, cost around 180-220 for the one i got.

                  Each state uses different frequency bands. Look up which ones your state use and find the one best suited. Keep in mind it doesn't necessarily mean it encourage speeding.

                      my bro has a valentine- look in like modified mag or somthing they usually sell thoughs, and it works like a champ- hasnt proven us wrong....

                      i know they also make diffusers/detectors.... like the K-40 which is garunteed to scramble the cops detector or they pay all your tickets for one year straight garunteed.

                      the K-40 gos inside your front and rear bumpers and you get two sensors in your gauge that blink when theres a cop. 2000$ and its yours, sounds worth it if i had that kind of cashiesh

                          I have radar detector tests from Car and Driver dating back to 1992. Every single test the Valentine One won by a large margin. When I get a car where I'm worried about tickets, that's what I'll buy.
