Cobra - Cobra XRS 9740 Ultra Performance 12-Band Radar/Laser Detector Review

I have had many radar detectors since I have been driving and the Cobra XRS 9740 is very impressive. I actually purchased two for both my wife's car and my truck. The day I recieved it I plugged it up, turned it on, and was attempting to install it on my windshield when it said "Ka Band Detected". I was wondering what button I accidentally pushed when I noticed a sheriff's car coming down the main road outside of my subdivision. The distance on mine is outstanding and my wife has had the same results as me. Some people have said it is difficult to program, but I found that it was extremely easy. Also it comes with a short coiled cord but I ordered a long straight one (item #420030N001) for my truck. My next door neighbor liked my XRS 9740 so much that he ordered him one and he loves it too. I have seen some of these one star reviews and just have to laugh! Radar detectors do not always work, or they work too little too late. Some police cars you pass may not have the radar on so don't assume the detector is broken. If you're the first or only vehicle on the road and a police officer aims the laser gun at you your detector will go ballistic, but you're still busted. A radar detector is not a free pass to speed, but a reminder to check your speed. Overall, I would highly recommend this product.
