Another driver learns truth...  Passport lost the last Car and Driver
evaluation (the best if read fully).  It came in third due to its fixed
price.  Two others beat it for features and performance.  The winner was
the Uniden RD9XL at 75 points, Whistler Spectrum 3SE second with 74 points,
and Passport third with 73 points.  Uniden goes for about 140 bucks.  I have
an old Radio Shack passport imitation and it works as effective as I need
(I run it constantly and am aware of all false alarm areas).  Passport is
supposedly coming out with something new, but they are always overpriced.
Some people wouldn't think of putting anything but a passport in their Vette,
but I own a Buick...  Radio Shack is fine with me.  It says Uniden on the
inside by the way.
