pc54321's Full Review: K40 RD 850 Radar Detector
Detected all types of radar at a reasonable distances (under 1/4 mile).
However when tested against a RX65, I could tell it fell short in the detection department. The most troubling part was when I saw it laser alert on a neon sign while parked at a hair salon. I called K-40 and they said they had never heard of that happing before. I don't know of this happens to other detectors or not.
I found it hard to read the alert lights when used on the visor of my truck. It took a while to understand which sounds meant what type of radar was present.
I liked the mute function.
