I understand your frustration...
My experience over the past twenty years has been that bargain detectors are generally not worth the risk. Good detectors are expensive - but so are the tickets/points. I have used two Valentine VR1's and they are superb. The Passport is decent as well(Escort/8500's, etc. - I have had them all) - but still not as good. I know the VR1's are overpriced, but they upgrade at a reasonable cost and do the routine maintenance if there is a failure. My current VR1 is five years old and has been upgraded twice from the factory - which has worked out to app $75/year for total ownership costs
Good Luck
Eric
