I think the detector you see for $140 must be a previous Cobra model.
The model in my article is the Cobra RD-4000.  It was developed after
the S/T/O/P circuitry was added to the Escort, and does indeed have
similar (same?) circuitry.  My Cobra does indeed detect spurious
signals from cheap detectors AND suppress the alarm.

I will agree with you about the usefulness of having different X and K
beeps.  In practice, this is more a matter of preference.  When I'm
cruising with triple digits, I don't care whether it is X or K, or 
whether the officer in question is 1/4 mile or 4 miles away... I'm
going to slow down immediately!

My Cobra was made in Japan not in Korea.
