Amazon.com Product Description Whether you commute to work or school on the freeway, drive for a living, or just like to go on an occasional recreational trip, the Cobra XRS-9730 Radar/Laser Detector is an invaluable addition to your motor vehicle. Designed for the convenience of 24-hour use, the XRS-9730 has a bright, easy-to-read DigiView data display that can be dimmed for nighttime driving. Measuring 4.88 x 3.01 x 1.44 inches and weighing just 6.74 ounces, the XRS-9730 can be set just about anywhere within easy view when you're driving, and then stored in your glove compartment when you're parked. The XRS-9730 detects six different radar signals, including the Ku wavelength band that is widely used in Europe and that has been recently approved for use in the United States. In addition, the XRS-9730 is completely invisible to the VG-2 and Spectre radar detector detectors while it alerts you if either the VG-2 or the Spectre is in use in your area. The XRS-9730 is also sensitive to four different laser signals, and with its LaserEye feature giving you a 360-degree detection range, you'll always be able to tell if you're driving through a surveillance area. And perhaps most importantly, for your own safety and the safety of other drivers sharing the road with you, the XRS-9730 detects two emergency alert systems to give you advance warning of road hazards, keeping you prepared when emergency vehicles are nearby. In addition to detecting the Safety alert system, the XRS-9730, like most of Cobra's Radar/Laser detectors, offers Cobra's exclusive feature of detecting the presence of the Strobe alert system, which emergency crews use to control traffic signals. Other features include a voice alert, a power-saving automatic shutdown when you turn your ignition off, and an easy-to-program menu. So get the Cobra XRS-9730 Radar/Laser Detector for your car or truck, and you'll be prepared for just about anything when you're behind the wheel. Note: Radar detectors can be used without restriction in well over 40 states, but restrictions apply in a few states. Please check with your state department of motor vehicles or highway patrol if you have questions about whether there are restrictions in your area. What's in the Box XRS 9730 radar/laser detector, windshield bracket, coiled power cord, hook and loop fasteners, and owner's manual.

Unbeatable detector for the price. November 5, 2008 L. Fliman (Chicago Il) I have had this detector for just a month and its already saved my butt for sure at least twice. Specifically once when I was speeding a considerable amount and a ticket would have been guaranteed.
It works well with lasers, I can confirm this just today. Also the Emergency Vehicle feature works well to my surprise. Its kind of useless to me, but very cool nonetheless.
I went from a cheapo whistler unit that was stolen to this one and I couldn't be happier. It is very customizable and over time, once you've figured out which frequencies are usually bogus, you can set it up so you will have almost zero false [radar] alarms.
The only thing that really bugs me is that it is very sensitive to POP, and if I leave it on, I get tons of false POP warnings. I've still yet to get a POP warning from a cop so Ill probably disable POP.
This detector is certainly worth the money and more. If you can get it for under $100, you have my full support.
Worthless - lots of false alarms May 5, 2008 Randy A. Bruns (Mukwonago, WI USA) Bought this radar detector after my Bel radar detector bit the dust after 10 years. I've had this detector for about a month now and found it to be useless. Lots of false alarms on all bands, especially on K and Ka. I have yet to see a police car with radar after the alarms go off. I had to turn off the radar detector "detector" features (VG-2 and Spectre) as they would go off for no reason. An example: sitting in a driveway of a rural subdivision and the VG-2 alarm going off non-stop, and I live in a state (Wisconsin) that doesn't even use these types of detectors. Voice alert got annoying after awhile so I turned that off too. My old Bel detector was always on the mark with detecting police radar and rarely had false alarms. I would not recommend this product to anyone - waste of money.
i love this radar detector April 6, 2008 Michael A. Cappiello Jr. This radar detector is the probably the best detector i ever owned, the range is great i live in raleigh north carolina and i do lots of highway driving and this thing saved me at least 50 times from a speeding tickets and the compass is amazing and everything on it, the only dislike is out of know where it will display pop mode when theres no cops insight, like i will be in my driveway and the detector will go off like crazy. But other then that great detector i recommend it to all my friends and family.
phenominal January 29, 2008 Eric Merriman (Depew, NY USA) Product works great... the only gripe i have is that the power cord is very elastic and pulled the detector off my dash a few times. Other than that the product is excellent
not enough warning, compass failed December 8, 2007 William E. Conner (NH) Nice looking unit purchased in time for a 3,500 mile trip. Spent time traveling to Iowa from New Hampshire with the compass reading E instead of W...very frustrating..I had a magnetic compass in the car and the readings varied widely. Re-calibrated the unit probably 20 times, all to no avail. Just before item returned, it read N while parked in front of my apt. while car was actually facing S.
Further, it gave me virtually no warning time on approaching police vehicles. It would finally pick up the radar, but only after the police unit was in full view. I know radar was more prevalent due to traffic stops I saw on the trip, including one car in front of me picked up by radar, cop turned around, and my unit didn't pick it up until he was in back of me and passing to get the speeder in front of me
Totally unacceptable, worst radar unit I've ever owned.
