Get a Origin B2
Check out www.originb2.com but speak to Jaycee (Jason) at www.alpha-telecom.co.uk for a very interesting price.
Tell him you're from scoobynet and he'll sort you out

RA 2 excellent piece of kit saved me 3 times in the space of 5 minutes, going down to COV and where they had road works they had 3 camera's there in a 50 limit.
My RA2 bleeped and flashed all 3 times to warn me yet other drivers were going past me a tad faster

i have a ra2 and as before it has saved my bacon a few times,but i have on 2 occasions seen new cameras and it has not given me warning ,i know the cameras were new as it was on a raod i use regularly,i update once a week but i suppose unless u do it daily you will never keep a step ahead ,generally though no complaints and an excellent system,but you cant beat keeping ur eyes open ,just in case

Micro Road Pilot is a far more discreet unit and very effective ( laser sensor can br mounted in the front grill). Its not as visable to theiving $***, and as its only the display you remove, it's a lot easier to take with you from the car.

As mentioned, a good set of eyes and moderating the speed are also effective

Agree with spike, i have had road angel 2 since it came out, originally have the orig. road angel and it is great, much better IMHO than the original. My mate has the B2 and he likes that also, i update my weelkly but i nearly got caught by a new camera last week in Bristol and now i am going to update daily.. its worth it at the end of the day..

I have a micro pilot, cant fault it really. The only thing I would like is if it could display the current speed limit all the time rather than when you are in an area where it activates its warning.
