You get what you pay for, and this is specially true with radar detectors.

Radar Roy compiled all the results of his testings, and offers the following "Badge Ratings".

Detector Rating Overview
Cobra XRS-9950
Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating No star No star

Cobra advertises that their new Cobra detectors as having 12 bands! This is somewhat misleading as there are only 3 radar bands and one laser band.

Both Cobra models tested have had difficulty detecting POP radar.

Cobra XRS-R9G
Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating No star No star

Great idea but poor follow through!

In off axis testing the XRS R9G would not alert until the unit was within line of sight.

RMR 450C

Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating No star
A passive radar/laser jammer manufactured by Rocky Mountain Radar. You would have better luck jamming radar by placing a cinder block on your dashboard than using this unit! As for radar detection, very low range.
RMR D-550
Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating No star
One of the 1st detectors manufactured by Attowave for this company. Defeated the Spectre II, however too many false alerts.
RMR Mini D
Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating Radar Roy's Badge Rating No star
A poor performing radar detector! During testing by Speed Lab's at the 2003 Radar Detector Shoot-Out, this unit would not alert on Ka band!
