Can anyone recommend a good radar detector that is easy to operate and that will detect gatsos and any mobile radar traps???
If so how much and where could I get one
Thanks

Before this gets moved to Non Scooby related, might I suggest you try doing a search, as there's been several similar enquiries recently.

Having said that, the GPS based systems also seem to be very popular at the moment. They don't do mobile traps, but the do cover the fixed non radar based Truvelo cameras etc.

Try the Snooper S5, seems to pick up everything. Only thing it doesnt pick up is those new digital cameras that do your average speed.
Cost about £300 for the S5 (good one). Dont go for the cheaper ones the range is not really as good. Only downside is that they pick up traffic lights too.

Try this link, should tell you everything you need to know. Pretty much any car shop sells them too.

Link www.snooper.co.uk.

Any other questions happy to help as I have one.

cheers Dave,
the reason I asked is it easy to operate is that is is for my dad. He just wants something that will plug in switch on, done

check out UKspeedtraps gives loadsa gr8 info on models available etc. Bottom lin eis for full coverage (or as full as u can get) u need a detector that will cover the mobile gatso thingies (as well as good warning of the other signal emiting gatsos etc & also tell u when u bin lasered (which is pointless as thats too late)), GPS thing to warn of avergae speed detection devices which dont give out signals & thus escape detection with detector (lot of bleedin detects init ) & last but not least (although only slightly dodgy un as far as law may go) is the laser jammer to prevent hand held speedo thingies
Si (& his freshly purchased bell euro 550 detector, road angel GPS jobby & 3 points looming from 1st NIP the jammer is next )

Forget radar detectors can anyone recommend a radar jammer, I tried searching on the web for them but it only really gave you the theory of them. I hava laser jammer but now I want to go one better.

scooby_si

see my above link & u will discover the best jammer is the LRC100 which is usually a fair bit more than currently still on offer from a recent group buy when i enquired about 'em with the resulting offer of Oh bargain NB quote a GTiR if u order as it was group buy c/o GTiR BBS
Snooper/blinder kums 2nd 2 this & may get 4 slightly less but that's the daddy of jamming

scooby_si

Doh just rered yer query dunno about radar jammers sure they r mentioned on my 1st link sumwhere & may well be TOTALLY ILLEGAL rather than just a maybe on the laser jamming front i cant c y a detector/GPS aint sufficient unless u wana b like the muppet who got dun 4 using laser jammer & keep driving by the equipment blatently speeding?

Bel Euro 550 is by far the best, and only way to go IMHO.

Better than the GPS stuff (as it can tell if they're working or not), picks up mobile units (mini-gatsos), hand-held radar and hand-held lasers, doesn't false at every set of traffic lights (unlike many of the other cheaper units) and can be used with a similar level of confidence all over Europe (which is hardly true for any of the GPS boxes).

Not cheap, and little (ok, NO) protection from SPECS... But SPECS cameras are hardly invisible are they, and as long as you slow down at some point in the measured range you're OK (unlike GATSOs)?

I considered everything, irrelevant of price, when I bought a Bel 550 and have never regretted it... Cracking box of tricks.

Snooper S6r-neo picks up SPECS, Truvellos, Gatsos, radar and laser...............the best system I have had to date already saved me around 6 times........
