I have a radar detector that is about 2-3yrs old.  When new, it was one of the
best around.  Now, I still think it is a very good one.  I am originally from
Ohio and used it on trips back and forth.  However, in the past year I have
gotten 2 speeding tickets while using my radar detector.  The reason is
that NC and recently PA highway patrol have "instant on" radar guns.  That
is their radar guns work like a gun.  They have a trigger that turns them
on and off very quickly.  This gives you a fraction of a second to slow
down if you are speeding.  This isn't enough.  So, I have stopped using my
radar detector.

I haven't looked into radar detectors since so I'm not sure if the technology
has changed to improve radar detectors.

Hope this helps.
