Yes good radar detectors are very hard to find, it is generally true that you do get what you pay for as far as detectors go.
I would love to try one of the scrablers out. Might have to save up and order one. It would sure be good insurance for the late night 140mph runs on the freeway.

None of the scramblers tested in the car mags has ever performed as advertised. If you want to save up to buy one, save some more for the fines and the increased insurance premiums that will certainly follow if you depend on one. Caveat emptor.
Buy a Valentine One or Passport 8500 and keep in mind the limitations of any detector. The most important component in evasion of radar/laser is...............YOU!

From advertisement:
That's a whole cr@plo@d of states! Yikes! Wouldn't transmitting frequencies to disturb radar/lidar devices fall under "evading an officer"?
In test after test after test, car magazines have found these radar/lidar jammers to be cr@p! Even if they "work", they don't do what they're supposed to do. Time and time again, products like that come and go, because once they're exposed, people stop buying them, and the company has to find a new market. Most, if not all, are scams.
Stop wasting your money and just use your eyes! Or just stop speeding! It doesn't do you any good if the law doesn't use electronic devices on you. They could sneak up behind you or better yet, they can easily judge your speed just by the way your car bounces.
But then again, I live in California.
Best of all, unless you are a resident of California, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Virginia, Utah, Washington or Washington D.C., using the Phazer is completely within your legal rights.

I've heard bad things about the Phaser. The company pays your speeding tickets, but they change their name so often, it is hard to receive the money. Another person said they took one apart, and it is a cheap radar detector and a blinking LED, no part that looked like a scrambler. Just my 2 cents. I don't know if any of this is correct, but these sources are reliable, and I'm considering getting an Escort 8500 for christmas. That or Valentine one are the best. Try www.radartest.com for other quality models.
