OK  That's it. I got a speeding ticket recently. $170 for 77 mph in a
65 mph zone, at the bottom of a long incline on a multilane desert
Interstate (Hwy 5, near Malibu, CA).

No more standing on principle for me. I used to think radar detectors were
vaguely anti-social. But no more.  I don't wish to fund county deficits,
or attend any more godawful-waste-of-time traffic school, or get bumped into
unsafe driver insurance risk groups (I'm an ultra careful driver with no
reportable accidents, and about four tickets in 20 years. I even use my
turn signals, for Pete's sake !).

So which detector should I buy ?  Is there a consensus on these things ?
Is Passport worth the premium price ?  I'm given to understand Maxon is "just
as good."  Funny, I can't find a Consumer Reports evaluation.
