Big difference between speed signs and instant on off-axis Ka band. I learned this the hard way!

I have this exact same one the ESD 7000, I live in Indiana and i had to go to Ohio 3 hour drive, It was catching speed traps left and right, i did 80 the whole way there and back never got caught. Deferentially worth the 30 bucks

Great video!!!

@proud2blatino Most radar detector regardless of price are going to do that. Unless you have a GPS unit which will store false alarms and remember them so when you go by the next time...no alarm. False alarms from stores can be either X band (very common) or K band, less common but still out there. I have the ESD 7000 and have been happy with it so far. It lacks some of the features of the higher priced units but for $30, it works well.

Can these detect when a cop is nearby??

@atrisk1 K and Ka badn refers to the frequency of the radar band K Band ranges from the frequencies of 18 to 26.5 GHz Ka ranges from 26.5 to 40 GHz. Simply put, Ka band is always a police officer and K band is usually a police officer but occasionally a K Mart. lol.

hey man this range works for me!!!

Wow not bad at all caught it from far away!

I have the same one is great for the price

Actually that isn't bad at all. Especially for 30 bucks. ka is the hardest to detect. I have found that the cheaper priced detectors pick up well. I have a V940 and it picks up K band better than my V955 & V995 ;) the V940 was the cheapest priced, 955 in the middle, then the 995 as most expensive. The cheapest seems better in my opinion. Also the V940 alerted 3/3 in pop detection from a guys of lidar test, while the 955 & 995 alerted only once. Go figure...pay more, get less

can you change the sound it makes. it sounds like my alarm

@Flysohighx21 my bad though i saw 55 it was 35

What's the on average life span for a Cobra 7100? I only left it in the hot sun once and in the future plan on taking it out.

whats k and ka???

its all good for a cheap one

lol going 34 in a 55

@pcool3066 ahahah you kidding? cobras suck they are paper weights they should be thrown away ahah buy a real detector that wont false and pick up better range than this piece lol check my vids out

That thing is garbage, of course it picked up up on a wide open, flat road. Put an ant hill in front of it and watch your range decrease to 10 foot.
