I ran into this unit in a Wal- Mart on closeout for $25. I am somewhat of a radar detector guru, and decided to give this a run against my whistler 1770. (I also have an escort 8500 which puts both of these units to shame, but the 6060 vs 8500 would be an unfair comparison). What a piece of crap. This unit does not differentiate between K and Ka band, so my whistler was used for this task. The 6060 picked up K band from about half a mile away, but did not respond on Ka band until I was about 800 feet from the offending radar gun. The whistler got about .7 mile on K and Ka bands, at the very same trap that the 6060 got 800 feet on. As mentioned earlier, the escort 8500 smashed both of these units, and whistler killed cobra. If you are a serious speeder, go with the 8500. If you want to know when your neighbor is using a microwave, get the 6060
