I own a K40 Remote mount detector. I have had the unit for 1 year. I
have never had a speeding ticket since installing it. The K40 comes
with a very unique guarantee: (quoted from the K40 manual)
"Guaranteed fully against the cost of radar speeding tickets for the
first twelve months. No exclusions, and no linit to the speed of
your ticket!"  Now I'm not the type that likes to get stopped, so
when I get a warning, I slow down. On a 500 mile drive, the detector
alarmed 3 times. I saw all 3 cops shortly thereafter. It missed one,
apparently he wasn't using radar. I can strongly recommend the K40.

(No, I don't work for K40 Electronics)
