I saw this item being sold at other sites for over $320, and this can detect X/K/Ka/Ku/Laser.

Its legal in my state, and I just got a ticket, so I'd rather not get another one.

Amazon.com
 
This is a great radar detector. I had one. I however sold mine as it (and no other radar detector for that matter) does nothing against laser and cops are using laser more aggressively in minnesota nowadays.
 
I have one of these that I bought from radarbusters.com. At the time, it was the best radar dectector available according to Radar Roy's testing.

On the down side, it didn't keep me from getting a $172 ticket a few weeks ago for doing 84 in a 65. It's funny how ineffective it can be when it is sitting at the house in the other vehicle. 🙁

That seems to be a good price. I don't remember how much I paid, but I know it was under $300 as a newsletter member.
 
greenwar, get yourself a passport 8500 x50 with a laser shifter. It will disorient the lasers and give the cops a weird reading. (in the mean time, slow down, then hide your radar) 🙂

Going off-topic ofcourse, that laser shifter you mention, may be illegal to use in minnesota. I know radar jammers are illegal here.

Radar jammers are illegal period because it is illegal to jam radio waves. Laser is light and it is not illegal to make or deflect light anywhere in the country. shl0791 is wrong in stating that hte 8500 shifts laser. It only "detects" it, and only then under select circumstances.

Go to ebay to get this for about 220-230.

I heard that even though the ebay sellers claim there is a warranty on the detectors there is in fact no warranty so make sure you buy a sealed box.

There are so many good detectors like the Beltronics STi, Escort X50, Valentine1, V995. There are also several laser shifters. Heard the blinder is good. But I haven't tested them all out, I'm just stating what I read on forums and reviews from mainly radardetector.net

check out the reviews at radarbusters.net. i was going to look at the x50 and the reviews on the Bel RX65 changed my mind.
 
The problem with laser shifters is I think the good ones are $400. So that makes $700 for a combo detector and shifter. :Q
