Exclamation WHICH RADAR

Its a minefield outthere to try and get the right radar detector they all seem to have there plus and minus about them. The radar defuser i know ill be having is the lrc 100.

I do know that the origin b2 has alot of features ( not heard a good report yet)

Snooper neo seems ok

Road angel the same

The others no idea

Ive seen the comparison list on speedtrap .co.uk still non the wiser.

help appreciated

Yup, i had one off Jaycee - very happy with it now i've got it to stick to the dashboard (bloody shiny cockpit shine ).

Incidentally, a nice traffic policeman tested my laser detector module on the M4 on sunday so i know it works now. Didn't go off till i was directly targetted though, must get LRC100....

Default Swings & Roundabouts

I’ve got a Road Angel and it’s never let me down. Only problem I have is the detection of the safety camera Vans because laser is so hard to detect. I’ve seen a few comments in magazines where the B2 has failed to give any warning to fixed cameras. They seem to all have there good and bad points. The B2 has loads more features compared to the Road Angel.

Origin B2 is the best. Or Road Pilot if you need it's extra features.

The jammer works directly with the b2 with an optional 14.99 lead.

£414.99 for the B2 doesn't sound like a good price?

From memory, Jaycee (Jason from Alpha-Telecom) was doing them for around £341 for Scoobynetters if they paid by cash/cheque/debit card. It's a bit more if you have to pay by credit card.

Nick, that price also includes 12 months subscription on top of the 6 months free which would normally cost £50 therefore the unit stands at £364.99.

Origin were not happy with me offering such big discounts on their product which is why I am paying the subscription, they don't have a problem with this apparently even though the end result is the same.

For Scoobynet users I have been doing them at £341 however if a groupbuy was organised I should be able to knock a bit more off the price.
Also LRC 100's will be available at a good price too.

Regards

Jason

B2 has cool features... how many miles you driven.. tim etaken.

very kool peice of kit.. plus easliy fitted.. see above pix i posted.. also you can by another fitting kit to swap it between cars.
B2 is small enough to slip in your pocket when you take it out too

Thanks for the clarification Jason, I didn't appreciate that the 12 month sub was in addition. Can you also get Bel detectors?

I've just been to the states and bought a european model BEL 995 (not released yet in the UK) for ..... oh I love the exchange rate..... £182 it's a slightly better spec than the current Bel 966R which is sold at over £300 here, theres a place in the states which ships to the UK, for about :-

360.00 USD United States Dollars = 203.672 GBP United Kingdom Pounds

1 USD = 0.565755 GBP
1 GBP = 1.76755 USD

No problem Nick.
We don't stock Bel products but could get them if required.
