In the discussion regarding radar I have not seen mention of another useful
feature of the detector--It tells you when the radar was NOT turned on.
My wife was stopped this morning for going 50 in a 45 zone, by a cop parked
facing the same way, with the radar mounted on the dashboard, pointing
toward oncoming traffic. The detector never went off. The officer showed 
her the "reading" on the radar, stopped her in the MIDDLE of the road
for 15 minutes even after she requested that they move to a safer spot,
attempted to cite her for having expired insurance (it BEGAN in June 85,
exppires in June 86), etc. The radar detector is just one useful device
to help show that she was set-up by a beginner, who was desperate to the
point of dishonesty.  Today I buy my second detector, for my own car!
