  Another thing you might want to keep in mind is what brands emit microwaves.
Here in Cananda at least, the police are using radar detector detectors,
supposedly these work by detecting the small amout of microwave signal
generated by the detector.  They are supposed to be quite effective
reports are that several hundred radar detectors were confiscated in the
first few weeks after introduction of the detector detectors.
  I have no idea which brands or models cannot be detected and i have
never seen any advertise the capability, of course if it is legal to
use radar detectors where you are going to drive then don't worry.
