Pros Detects Safety Alert Signals, X, K, Ka, laser, VG-2 undetectable, display is good
Cons Ka band performance is HORRIBLE! X and K detection is poor. Low alert volume.
Recommended it? No

Hi Everyone,

I have a Cobra ESD 6500 which is a 6700 minus voice alert. I got mine for $50.00 on Ebay. It came with a 90 day warranty and it looks brand new. I think the ad said that it was a factory repair job. I met a trooper on the road today who hit me with Ka band for a split second... Read full review »
